Subjects’ opinion were gathered thorough a semiconstructed interview form. The data derived from the interview were reduced through qualitative data analysis method, and figurative-interpretive analysis method was used by quoting from the reduced data. The subjects involved in the study generally complained from the difficulty in carrying out educational goals and objectives and managing classes of diverse needs, from time shortage, from the pupils’ low readiness and competence level; from managing multiple classes in the same place simultaneously, from biases of the families, from the funding problems and physical insufficiency.
