I would like to propose that one cause of curriculum overcrowding is a phenomenon I refer to as "Idea Creep".

A CBS news clip debating over year-round schooling. The news reporter speaks with representatives that are both for and against year-round schooling in Raleigh, NC where overcrowding is a huge problem. Both representatives gives their views and opinions on the topic.

This source includes a number of publications about education. There is an article that states how year-round school may be the solution to various issues such as overcrowding, low performance levels, and uneffective instruction. The article is set up first addressing the idea, stating the problem then presenting the solution and how the solution would work.

Another new article published in Education Week that discusses how the number of students attending school year-round has continued to grow throughout the years. The article explains how year-round schooling is not an extension of school but a reoganization of it. It also explains that there are different types of year-round school such as multi-track year-round schooling which primarily works to solve the problem of overcrowding in schools.
