The difference between an average and a cap. An average class of 28 will result in classes of 40. There is no way to increase class sizes without losing jobs; their claim that no front-line workers will lose their jobs is a lie. With larger classes and fewer teachers, students will get less individualized instruction and support. Extracurriculars (such as Rob Ford's favourite football team) will also suffer as teachers face increased workloads. Small programs and elective courses that are lifesavers for many students will be eliminated. Even e-Learning proponents admit that it is not a good learning model for all students. It is also discriminatory towards students with learning disabilities and economically disadvantaged children who do not have computer or internet access at home.
