I want to respond only to the second question. It certainly should be
possible to teach only a few students at a time if you have good discipline
in your classroom and you give the other students something to work on
independently. I attended a small elementary school--two rooms for eight
grades--and while the teacher was with one grade, the other three grades
were working on another task. I also taught second grade in a not-so-small
school--one room for each grade. The children in my class had the same
wide-ranging abilities of any group of second-graders so in reading, for
example, I had divided them into three groups according to their reading
level. I taught one group at a time while the other two groups finished
other assignments or used flashcards or studied spelling or some other task.
It worked just fine.
