The class size is not affected by overcrowding. The student-teacher ratio is set and allocation is given out based on enrollment, including students on COSAs. Your class sizes are large because your school has too few FARMs students to qualify for funding for reduced class size.

Do you really thing COSA would be allowed into the school already running @108% capacity? I don't think so...

Oh, no, no no. I'm too entitled to play by the rules. I shall pay cheap rent elsewhere and drive my kids in to your good Bethesda schools any time I want. You're the suckers both working and paying so much for your property and taxes! All I have to do is bribe my friend to put our residency there. And I don't need to work because I don't have no MoCo income taxes or house!

This is a whole lot of speculating about what why that child goes to OP's school. I would not assume anything - for all we know they have a COSA. Again, without the facts - myob. OP's child is getting the benefit of both living in the great area and attending the great school - so I'm not sure why they care what someone else is doing.

I'm not OP
If they have COSA - fine
but I doubt you can get COSA into overcrowded school like Wootton for example

do you think this is the main reason why the school is overcrowded?

main reason - no, but it is one of the factors for sure.

I'm not sure what those links are supposed to tell me. Yes there is lower cost housing throughout the county. How does this relate to the thread?

easy - lower cost housing available in expensive neighborhoods too. It's all about priorities - for those who really want to get their kids the best education possible - options are always available. No need to cry about poor kids kicked out of school because their parents can't afford to live in certain area
Look, I understand what you're saying, but I've seen it and I did the same thing- family with 2 kids renting a small apartment just to get their kids can go to better schools.
They didn't lie or cry about inequality, just did what they suppose to do to get what they want without breaking the rules.

Why are foolish Americans fighting over our children attending public schools and getting a "universal" "public" education? This is not private school. It's public school stupid....public. Are we a civilization still stuck in apartheid. Apartheid based on socioeconomic status and skin colors.

Apartheid for American public school education (to be like the private schoolsand clubs), YMCAs and public swimming pools!

Grow up adult dummies and stop embarassing yourselves and setting such a bad example for your school children.

Now we know this person doesn't have a job? Is this how people make themselves feel better about getting a kid kicked out of school?

MoCo provides the same school resources everywhere. If anything its the parents and kids who make a school "crappy".
