What is the best Canon wide angle lens to shoot pictures of large groups of children and/or adults?

Thanks for this information -- wondered if there was much of a difference -- and since I have only taught 3rd grade math--all those numbers do not mean very much to me -- actually I don't understand any of them -- I just use this camera to take pictures of "cats, cows, and kids" as my husband laments all the time.  He claims I killed one of our prize roosters because I made him "pose" for a picture and it stressed him out because I had to  have everything perrfect.  So, as you can image, I mostly treat this as a point and shoot -- kinda like my first Brownie camera!!  The students at school dont know the difference!!

The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens will show you a much wider view.  It sells for about $300 bucks.

And there is nothing wrong with this.  Most people that shoot Rebels do this and they are completely happy.  If you grow some and find the new lens perks up your photograpy interest, you may want to further educate yourself in the facinating workd of photography.  The new lens will work just like you have been doing, though.
