Bill Hoffman, CUSD Board of Trustees Meeting "I still love teaching and the students are hard working and wonderful to be with. But these big numbers are taking away much of that enjoyment because I can’t do the job the way I know it should be done, or if I do the job, I hardly have the time or energy. Sadly, teaching is becoming a test of endurance, rather than a creative, interactive process. Large class sizes are a major cause."

Hoffman made this statement during public comments at the October 15 2007 CUSD Board of Trustees meeting. Hoffman is a 31-year teaching veteran who teaches economics and laptop geography at Capo Valley High School.
