Wow, that class size is almost scary. I taught 8th grade for 28 years and also had 6 classes a day. Over the years I averaged about 32 per class, with a top of 39 one year. I found 39 to be difficult, to say the least. The only advantage that year was that (for once) I had enough students to make a decent-sized jury during my mock trial unit. The smallest class I ever had was 23; that made the mock trial near impossible as so many students had to play multiple roles.
