Question

What are the trends in crowding in US schools? What are some of the impacts of big schools vs. small schools, in terms of student well-being (according to the Research of Roger Barker)?

Answer 1

The trends in crowding in US schools show that as school size increases, i.e. in case of the big schools the number of activities that students participate in less than in case of small schools. Thus crowing has a bad impact on the performance of schools as there more external pressures to participate in small schools compared to big schools. Thus according to the Research of Roger Barker, students of big schools don’t perform that well as compared to the students of the small school.
