What's more important is that it can help better their personalities. 2 For example, a student should be cooperative and creative so that he or she can succeed in the future. This can be achieved if teachers pay more attention to their students. Having fewer students in each class can make every student join group discussions and communicate with others more.
Besides, when students have problems, they can quickly get help from teachers.
