More time with students is key to learning

North Thurston school superintendent Raj Manhas has been following the legislative debate about lower class size and has his own ideas on education.

“Class size is significant,” Manhas said during a Coffee With Ken interview Wednesday, “but spending more time with teachers in the classroom is most important.”

If he had his way, Manhas said that schools would extend the school year and maybe look seriously at year-round schools.
