What does " charges " here mean ?

0Dear teachers ,02br
02br
00I read an article written in English on education , and I don't understand the noun " charges " in the sentence below:02br
02br
00" Overcrowded classrooms also mean that students will have little chance to practise listening and speaking English.02br
02br
00As Hanna Floyd says: "Twenty primary-school students is the best class number because the children need to be active during lessons and teachers have to listen carefully to 01b01u00all their charges02u02b00 ".02br
02br
00Please explain to me the meanibg of it . By the way , do you think the clause " 01b00Twenty primary-school students is the best class number " is ok ? 02b02br
02br
00Thank you in advance02br

0"Left word" isn't quite right. It sounds like the wrote a little note or asked someone to deliver a message. I left word with your secretary that I'd be late for lunch.02br
02br
00Also, delete the "the" - and is not one to be easily intimidated.0-
