I'm tired of hearing Republicans complaining about having to implement the class size amendment. They claim they will have to hire a new teacher to teach one student. That is ridiculous.

When the number of students goes over the maximum, the class is split, thus giving more teacher attention to each student. Studies have shown that students do better in school in smaller classes. With the economic challenges our young people will face, we need them trained as well as possible.

Rep. Will Weatherford of Wesley Chapel claims to value small class size, then schemes to undo the will of his bosses - the voters of Florida.

Republicans, do your job and fund lower class sizes.
