| The mayor's daughters went to Spence, where class size hovers between 10 and 15. |
Mayor Bloomberg told an MIT crowd that if he were king, he would fire half the teachers and double class sizes.

He can't understand all the fuss over his remarks, which he now claims were taken "out of context."
“Double the class size with a better teacher is a good deal for students.” -- Mayor Bloomberg
