Class Sizes 50-to-1, per Kasich Education Czar

We finally have it.  The real Kasich education plan has been exposed by Plunderbund

...Then yesterday, the Dispatch reported that Kasich’s education czar, Robert Sommers, testified to the House Finance Committee:
Sommers suggested that in a "blended learning environment" class sizes could go to a 50-to-1 ratio. "We have schools, both in the urban centers and in other settings, that have found how to get high-performance results, treat staff very well and do it for less than what we currently do."

Isn't that a terrific idea?  Fifty children in a classroom?  How much learning do you think would go on in a classroom of fifty students with one teacher?  Would you want to have you child in a classroom of that size?  Would you like to be the teacher responsible for a class of 50?  If Kasich has his way with consolidating school district and the passage of SB 5, when those test scores decline, you'll get fired.
