I apologize if my statement was sounding, as if "bigger classes" would mean an automatic failure - this was never my intention.
A smaller class makes it easier for teachers to adopt to pupils (thus providing more help for weak pupils) - you can learn (quite literally) the same stuff in a large class then in a small one.
I will not respond to the rest of your post - not out of disregard, but simply out of lack of time. Just wanted to clarify the above part.
