Staffing

Staffing is another matter. Teaching has not been a long suit in the College, since the early days of the heroic four who set things going, and certainly in no classes where the numbers have exceeded thirty. I've been a teacher long enough to know that no-one can "teach" a class of over thirty effectively; and I've been on the receiving end often cough to know that a series of lectures hasn't necessarily got anything to do with teaching, and sometimes nothing to do with learning. Lots of youngsters who are getting the opportunity of going to Varsity won't have a chance of making a success of it unless staffing is increased so that classes can be brought back to reasonable proportions. When there are a hundred or more in a class they might as well get their "lessons" through a tie-up between the College and 2ZB.
