current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded 我还以为这是是背景信息呢，马上就把和背景信息不符合的选项给cut掉了~~所以这道题徘徊了很久，还是选了一个错的~~

这个题关键在于student-teacher ratios not be exceeded，
意味着虽然经济差了，只要学生人数不减少，老师就不会被裁，所以提供学生不减少的条件为support。
实在是太绕了。

The key here is the last part of the legal requirement: current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded. This means that as long as the total enrollment of student is not decreasing, there won't be any layoffs among government-funded schools.

B) would strengthen the argument that "any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools" due to the legal requirement, since during recession, those who attend expensive private-funded schools might feel the econimical pressure and switch to public-funded school, hence, provide stead streams of new enrollment for the public-funded school. To keep the current student-teacher ratios would not lead to layoffs among the teachers.

能不能请sdcar再解释下为什么A不对呢？我的理解是学生老师比高说明学生多老师少，那不刚好需要招聘更多的老师吗？而且题干的not be exceeded怎么理解吖？学生老师比不能被超过吗？

The reason A) is out is that the information it provides has no bearing on the argument.

A) The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.

What if the ratio during the last economic recession is extremely low? So A) alone won't help the argument.

其实这道题很简单。在国外（中国也一样）学校都是设定一个student-teacher ratio的最大值，保证不超过这个值。而student-teacher ratio越小越好（100:1=100 VS 100:20=5），所以只要表示学生可能增多（老师必须随即增多）的选项就对了。
B选项中虽然有很多不确定因素，但总归会有学生转到公立学校的吧。就是只有1个学生转过来，也要增加0.0000几的老师去配合，以保持这个ratio。

实在是不能理解A为什么是无关，A说，现在的比例比一般的萧条时期的比率都要更高。也就意味着在萧条的时候（1）学生更少，或者（2）老师更多，所以可以是support的啊？
