A massive shortage of school places is leading to emergency measures in order to accommodate ever increasing numbers of pupils.
Among areas hit hard and considering emergency measures are Bristol, Gloucester, Dorset, Reading, Salford, Hertfordshire, and Devon.
Bristol is looking at providing another 3,000 primary school places over the next 5 years.
Nationwide, measures including creating emergency classrooms from other buildings are being considered, as well as something interestingly described as "time phased working" for some schools.
Time phased working would see one group of pupils attend school in the mornings, another group of pupils attend school in the afternoons. Part time schooling in other words, not only leaving the child less time in education but also causing difficulties for many working parents.
The cause, as ever, is increasing population and birth rates. Official figures project that we will need an additional 540,000 primary school places nationally by 2018, based on an increase of 14% in the number of primary pupils.
It's a simple fact that, as population increases, either we acquire more resources or the resources we have are stretched further and further with people having less access to them.
In the case of schools we see the desperate need to build more, and the idea being mooted of part time schooling, one might even go so far as to say it is in fact educational rationing being suggested and implemented.
Behind the ever increasing are the twin banes of mass immigration and immigrant driven birth rates. It is not the indigenous British multiplying at such a huge rate that their offspring are outstripping available school places.
The cold and simple truth is that immigrants, and the resulting children born to immigrants/early generation descendants, are arriving far faster than the system can cope with.
The problem is compounded by ConDems cutbacks to budgets, but the fact is that even without the cutbacks we'd have reached crunch point at some time. The population is growing far too rapidly for the infrastructure to keep pace.
A population can neither expand indefinitely, nor expand at the rate which ours has been, without massive problems arising as the increased population demands the resources which are expected to be available in Britain.
Schools, on the front line because of huge birth rates among foreign groups, are the first to see it. We get the colonised, overcrowded classroom. The education of all children suffers, we are forced to look at emergency measures like turning a shop into a classroom or part time schooling just to cope with the massive increase in children.
As population increases - and it will continue to do so, there is no sign that ConDem will get a handle on immigration, nor that immigrant birth rates will drop to mirror those of the indigenous any time soon - we will see more and more of this.
Standards and availability of resources will drop, there is simply no other possible outcome. Our school system, and indeed our nation as a whole, simply cannot cope with the rapidly expanding population forced upon us by the artificially imposed factor of mass immigration.
Unless we halt this population expansion, initially by closing our borders and ending the flood of mass immigration inflicted upon us, we will see the situation continue to worsen.
It may not be a worry to MP's, hidden in their ivory towers and whose children are in some private school, but the rest of us will watch our children be educated in overcrowded, under-resourced classrooms and see our childrens educations suffer.
This is the situation in which mass immigration places us, watching as the education system collapses due to being over-burdened by a massive population increase.
It is our children who will lose out as a result, denied the chance for the best education we could possibly afford them.
