The student to teacher ratio is vital for success of the students in school. When there are a large excess of students, you will lose the opportunity to be able to discuss any problems with staff. Also, a productive student teacher relationship will not be formed. Adding an appropriate amount of staff will help students exceed in school.
To expand upon this, students mental health should be appropriately addressed by having a mandatory minimum student to counselor ratio.
