In the news today, a judge forbids the school system from converting 22 schools to year round next year. That will make the county 8,000 seats short. A shortfall that will need to be solved in the next 3 months unless an appeal reverses the judge's decision or the state legislature passes a law that will give the school board the authority to convert schools to year-round. The interest group that initiated the suit against the school system believes that year-round schools will cause irreperable harm to their students. Did they take into consideration the harm that will be caused if there are not enough seats for the students? How well will they learn in an over crowded classroom? One thing is for sure, when it is all said and done and student performance drops due to overcrowding, the same groups will blame the teachers.
