[quote=Anonymous]DCPS just spent millions making the WOTP schools as large as they physically could. Most have no more physical room to expand or even put trailers without completely removing play space and athletic fields. To push the schools beyond the current size would be a policy decision to move upper income families out of the District, and to strain the system at the expense of student grades and healthy child development. Ask the schools that had a period of extreme crowding how morale, behavior, and grades were during the strained years compared to the years before and after. Ask the PTAs what happened to fund raising and big donors during those years (they left). Crowding takes a real toll on social, emotional and academic development. If DCPS is serious about social/emotional support, they will have to adopt policies to eliminate the stress of crowding.[/quote]
