[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sharing a maybe unpopular opinion but true: some overcrowding is actually a good thing.  It brings additional resources to a school (more grants, more teachers, etc).  One of the reasons overpopulated schools in this region perform so well is because of those additional resources.

Nonsense. Its nearly impossible to make sports teams, get a part in the play, be on student govt, etc. with overcrowded schools. Let alone the bathroom situation and the hallways.[/quote]

The kids might need to work a little harder to get a part in the musical or make the team, and perhaps they need to wait until junior year, but they learn to push themselves, try new things and learn how to not always get everything they want the first time... all great lessons.[/quote]

Disagree. You simply won't have the opportunities at a 3000 student school that you would at a 2000 student school. You don't need to "work a little harder" to make the basketball team at Westfield or a part in the play at Chantilly, you just don't get to be on the team or in the play, ever. Honestly, your tone shows you really don't understand at all how hard it is to get opportunities at these mega schools.[/quote]
