[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had a math class at RM where there are not enough chairs and some kids sat on floor. But I think it was more that one class was oversubscribed but they couldn’t open a second class for whatever reason.  A lot of the HS are over capacity but I think it shows up more and less in different classes.  No one is sitting on the floor in the Latin class, for instance.

Overcrowding shows up more in the playgrounds, buses, cafeterias and bathrooms.   For the little kids, the overcrowded playgrounds are just so sad — you hear kids saying they waited in line 15 minutes to do the monkey bars, or waited all recess in line to play nine square.  Or that there are 60 kids trying to play one game of soccer.  Our ES expanded classroom space so was not over capacity but they did it by cutting the field space in half — so you had twice as many kids with half as much space to run around.  Not a good solution.[/quote]
Same. We lost a substantial portion of our playground to portables.[/quote]

And the smaller playgrounds in higher-density areas all end up as dirt/mud with the overuse per square foot..  They need to account for that until they are as serviceable as those in lower-density areas.[/quote]
