209. No, it's that you assume math that is not in existence.
A Promethean board in a classroom costs a district maybe $2K. Fill a school for $20,000. How do you propose we reduce class size for that kind of money? That's not enough to hire a kid to mow the field all year, much less hire one of the "master teachers" you speak of.

You're not proposing anything particularly revolutionary, just something unaffordable given the current structure. Everyone wants smaller classes. No district is making a "choice" for bigger classes, that's a straw man.
