Children

Today I assisted two dance classes. One class was 5-6 year olds and the other was 3-4 year olds.
Watching them dance it is interesting how different there attention spans are and how quickly they can catch on to simple steps. The 5-6 year olds for the most part were able to catch on to the different "positions" fairly quickly, with the exception of one or two who would rather goof around then listen. The 3-4 year olds were very rowdy. Then again there were quite a few more of them then in the 5-6 class. With only one instructor and two assistants it becomes increasingly difficult to give each one attention. It reminded me of how big some of classes are with forty students but with only one teacher. It doesn't matter how old you get, everyone learns at a different rate. Smaller class sizes receive more one on one time with the teachers and or assistants which makes it easier to teach them what's going. Overall in my opinion I think that in a learning environment class sizes should be at a smaller size to be able help each student.
