9. This is worth thinking about.

First of all, if we leave numbers aside, its physical space. Are we cramming as many desks and people as possible into small rooms, or can we open things up, use some flexible seating plans and furniture, and allow all of us some personal space?

Then there's the numbers; whether it's full time or part time, smaller numbers need more staff. There may be a range of possibilities here, but the bottom line? There's $$$ involved even if it doesn't mean all classes for all students are small.

One of the things I struggle with is giving my adhd kids more space, which means sitting them at the ends of tables or rows, etc.; sometimes there simply are not enough "ends" to go around.
