[quote=Anonymous]I have not seen any issues at my neighborhood Arlington elementary school that is 50% over capacity. As previously mentioned, the class sizes have been kept small (about 20 per class) by using trailers to increase the number of classes. My initial concern was that the school is hiring a lot of new, inexperienced teachers to lead the classes (my kid has had a new teacher the last 3 years), but my kid has loved her teachers and is really learning, so I cannot complain. I think it does adversely effect lunch, PE, art, music, etc., since these activities were designed for a smaller school and could not be easily scaled to handle the increased number of students. Where I really notice it is outside of school - classes (music, dance, swim, etc.) fill up in minutes due to the larger number of kids competing for the openings.[/quote]
