Hi Memp,

I think that smaller classrooms are more conductive to focusing attention and learning. Actually, what seems to be important for better learning that classrooms that do not have too much decorations that are not directly related to what the students are suppposed learn, have a look at this article about work of my colleague Prof. Anna Fisher and her colleagues – https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/heavily-decorated-classrooms-disrupt-attention-and-learning-in-young-children.html .
