As far as standard English is concerned, the teacher’s correction of the principal’s words “It’s not ‘less people’, it’s ‘fewer’” is

invalid, because the noun “people”, though plural as a concept, is uncountable in form.

appropriate, considering such use of “less” would only be acceptable in a more formal context.

unjustified, as “less” and “fewer” are equally used to indicate “a smaller amount of”.

legitimate, since “fewer”, not “less”, quantifies countable nouns.

reasonable, and the alternative for “less” should have been “lesser”.
