A strong principal would push back.[/quote]

A strong principal would recognize that accepting just enough OOB students gets him an extra teacher per grade, which decreases class size. Murch has better-than-average class size despite extreme overcrowding. So, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here and assume he is playing his hand correctly.[/quote]

Yup. Murch parent here, and the principal is VERY canny about this stuff. I completely support his approach; it's the difference between classes of 20-22 and classes of 25+. They've already figured out how to handle the number of classes, so he doesn't need to find new space. Fewer kids gets us nothing but more kids per classroom/teacher--not sure why any Murch parent would want that.

(And to those asking about "where do they eat lunch"--in their classrooms. Murch doesn't have a cafeteria. So more kids in the school doesn't change anything about that sort of shared space.)[/quote]
