چکیده
Thus we have the conundrum of all schools from the most ancient times to the modern day: how to devise a uniform curriculum and teaching methodology that properly educates a diverse group of students? As class sizes grow, the problem becomes worse, a phenomenon that Quintilian himself recognized. (Quintilian, 1922b) He argues that schools have certain advantages over one-to-one learning with a tutor, in particular the benefits of social interaction with other pupils, but he does not provide an explicit solution to the problem.
