+1  Like OP, I live in Bethesda.  I don't have quite the same level of concern about class size, and I am sympathetic to the principle of not allowing wealthier school clusters to buy more staff.  But it does annoy me that, at least on DCUM, people love to rally around knocking the Bethesda schools down a peg.  The kids are generally high-performing, so [b]apparently they don't deserve any relief from some of the largest classrooms in the county[/b].  Bethesda is comparatively rich, so everyone seems to think it is OK that its schools are horribly overcrowded ("If you don't like it, move.").  Or, Bethesda schools shouldn't be limited to people who live there, so let's bus more kids in or allow unmanaged development of high-density residences so more kids can benefit.  I actually support more workforce housing in Bethesda, but it makes me bonkers that there's no money coming in to address the fact that Bethesda has some of the most overcrowded schools anywhere.  Nobody thinks Bethesda needs any public resources, and yet the main things that are needed (expanded facilities, more staff) are the things that people in Bethesda are prohibited from contributing directly themselves.

The schools in Bethesda have the same class size caps as every other school in MCPS.[/quote]
