I imagine teachers don't have the time to have this type of 1:1 interaction with the 25 students in their class. Seems like email/phone communication to the parents is reasonable here. Something like disciplinary action would have been bad though.

I will add that it is 1 to 25 in California, other states vary.

One of the reasons why better ratios help kids is exactly to give this type of individual attention.

Looks like they thought to ask him, but a kid's parent will be able to extract better info out of them.

Judging by teacher's earnings.. they are probably very badly selected and trained.
