N.Y. can live with fewer teachers Editorial

Dear Editor,

I am referring to your opinion posted on the Daily News editorial section where you said NY can live with fewer teachers. I disagree with your statement about having less teachers and more students per class. The reason why I disagree is because a lot of the schools in NY are already crowded with around 30-35 students per class when there's really suppose to be 20-25 students per class. If NY has less teachers this then means that in some schools the students per class can rise to 40 or more students. In a crowded class like those what can we posibbly learn? It would be to distracting, noisy many other problems. Another thing is many teachers have only one job, which is to teach. If teachers get laid off then they won't be able to support there families or kids. Instead of laying of teachers, why not lay off the teachers that don't teach at all and  just sit around all day, then hire teachers that actually teach and want kids to pass. Because many teachers in NY come to school to teach because they have to and not want to. There are many people out there that want to be teachers, not because they need a job to support themselves.
