Troll? Give some background info if this is to be taken seriously.

I'm not OP, but depending on where in the world you are, classrooms with 50+ students aren't that rare even today: https://www.economist.com/china/2018/09/13/anger-grows-in-ch...

I'm most familiar with China (I taught middle-school classrooms of 55-60 in Yunnan around 2010, and had some friends in Guangzhou teaching 75-80), but I assume there have been & are plenty of countries with similar situations.

Good perspective. I would've guessed when you get to numbers like that it would even be worth doing.

Apologies for not giving context, i am from india and yes it was very common to have classrooms with 55-60+ students and simply 1 teacher.
