Kendall's Fifth Law1

In the context of class size, addition is inflationary by a factor of 2-2.5.
(Example: 20+6 is not 26. It's more like 32-35.)

We leveled today. I'm about ready to die.


1Kendall's Laws 1-4:
1. Nothing's ever simple.
2. Never trust nobody with nothing.
3. Geometry does not apply to wood.
4. No matter how much you sweep, there is always more dust.2

2"Men come and go, but dust accumulates."
 -Terry Pratchett, Night Watch


PS. Professional development makes me want to stab out my eyes.
