That much is true. Teachers in the US are asked to pick up the slack for bad parenting.
It would be better to pull problem kids from the productive classroom, and put them in a strict disciplinary program until they can earn their way out of it. Education is not a right for kids that don't behave.
Looking at the comments here, there appears to be some consensus on what works, what is problematic, etc. Issue is political/social will to make it happen.
Perhaps the root problem is not the classroom size, but rahter the scale of the socio-political unit.
