Parents of students at a high school on Chicago's Southwest Side say the building is too crowded. Just last week, interim principal Martin McGreal was fired from Gage Park High School for refusing to enroll more students. He said he did so because the school is already overcrowded.

No one cares about the number of poor kids in schools. The expectation is that, "they will drop-out anyway." It's a shame that the union that we pay nearly a thousand dollars a year to did not have more of a solution for the teachers. Anything other tha a form to fill out? Were they there on the informational picket-line? I don't think so. Will they be able to get us back in if they take us out on strike, like the continue to talk about? I expect better service for my money.
