It's quality over quantity - smaller classrooms/ families, lead to more individual attention and better quality of life and education - this is the science behind why things 'work' this way and fail to the other way (Big families occur in Third World Countries to compensate for higher mortality rates - so better hygiene and medicine is the answer here). When I was in Scientology (God forgive me) they had a saying that you rewarded up statistics and punished down statistics - this means tough love or 'logic' dictated that you kept stupid actions under control as Rudi Guilliani did with New York (Too many single girls at home having babies - get them back to work by cutting down their state benefits or whatever).
The problem is that nobody wants to get tough at the grass roots level and bring in drastic population control methods and if they don't as Racoon says that means population control will occur naturally at the adult end (War, famine, pestilence). Sensible, middle class people do the former (educated) and the latter create the above scenario (Thanks for that point Little Bang!).
