So, a single person can lead 3-4 people, but three people can lead 7-10. Sounds like those three people should each lead 3-4 people instead.
That's probably 1 tech lead managing two people each of which manages 3-4 people below him.

Well, it is very common in situations like this to have 2 to 4 assistants, and I can't believe without them it would be possible to avoid hard conflicts and even violence on regular basis.
Growing up we had 60 instead of 24 students and 0 assistants and still no violence and less if none bad conflicts
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.

It's a wonder anyone wants to do the job at all, knowing all this in advance. I almost became a teacher once. Figured all the abuse would be a degrading waste of my efforts.
Maybe not everyone's motivated by money?
Yea - but maybe for such an important role for society we can actually put up the cash to make it a worthwhile career choice. I've heard the "we don't want teachers who are only in it for the cash" line enough that I want to puke. If you paid enough to attract the leeches legitimate teachers would get them sacked right quick.

But she gets her summers off! /s It's crazy how underpaid teachers are.
Not in Canada
That really surprised me when I moved up here - suddenly I lost a whole class of jokes about how underpaid teacher are. It shows too, you can look at things like IP creation (comedians, musicians, writers, performers) and even vaccination rates to see the benefits investing in education can get you.

#66The number of people someone can lead is strictly based on their leadership score. For instance, as a 12th level wizard with a charisma modifier of +3 I can lead 23+1 people.

The point was what makes it worthwhile isn't cash.

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

Cool. But people need to eat and our society (at least in the US) is completely run via cash - you can appeal to higher ideals all you want, but if you're starving out teachers you're going to lose a lot of the good ones that can go into other fields of education and communication.
I think a lot of teachers do value the experience of teaching enough that they'll stick with it through thick and thin - but a lot of folks never even consider teaching due to just how poor the wages are.
