Some people like to spin up drama. Sometimes for political motives. Sometimes they’re just mental.

But what's the motive here. I really don't get it. Did their kid not get in like the HB haters? So they say people don't want it? But to what end? Kids of STEM focused kids and parents of kids who want a smaller school will apply. That's a clear fact as the waitlist has grown over the last three years. And here's the rub: It will always be a smaller school b/c the CTE and labs take up so much space. Maybe that's why? The poor, teen moms and Brown people are getting something nice and they focus instead on the AT kids? I really don't get it and hope it's not just "drama". If that's it why aren't they in the politics or relationship discussions?

It is not a good look to say that the Langston program doesn't deserve the nice new building too. Looks like opportunity hoarding. Or I don't want THOSE kids around my special snowflake.

They should build a purpose building for Langston, not shoe horn them in here so APS can use their old space for other projects.

They have a huge investment in AT, and need to raise its stature to be successful and meet enrollment goals. This mixing doesn’t make sense and weakens the schools future.

The total enrollment of the Langston program is 85 kids. How on earth does that impact the "stature" of AT?

The DID build a purpose building for the Langston program and you are showing your ignorance. The building was completed in 2003 as the first LEED award winning public building in Arlington and designed for the Langston and co-located program which I am not mentioning b/c your laziness inspires me. Have you been? I have. It's really nice and has a great community fitness center.

That makes sense. The APEs need a new thing to get all worked up about. These people should get another hobby.

Those APEs are really living rent free in your head.

F the good look. Why can’t people be honest? There are several small programs. One has students in ankle bracelets who are avoiding jail for very serious crimes. I think that one is the concern of AT parents (should be). Another is one where kids were relentlessly bullied and the like, they are in a small family-like atmosphere school in which the students are thriving with very high staff to student ratios. The latter heavily opposes being moved. Then there are the teen parents, they don’t really need a separate program administration. They need support, daycare and grace with deadlines. There are also the older teen and adult English learners who cannot pick up English like the teens who are dropped into mainstream with support.

I'll stop paying attention to APE when they stop trying to tear apart our school system.

So just to get this straight you're fine with the ankle bracelet kids being near the vulnerable kids who were relentlessly bullied and the teens parents and the EL learners as long as they are not near your own kid?

Okay, so why are they moving them out of it to GH?

NP. The difference is the small facility and higher staff to student ratio makes for a much better controlled environment overall. In a building with 1400 students mixing, its a lot less able to manage.

No idea. Some people suspect an ES swing space. Others think program collapsing.

I have no idea where the ankle bracelet kids are, but they should be physically separated from all other kids and not intermingle.

Please post your kids’ schools so we can send the “ankle bracelet kids” there, if you claim you’d love that. You are a liar. The students in that program have convictions for serious drug charges (not “just” possession), serious violent assault charges, and serious weapons offense charges. And you are trying to shame other parents for not wanting them?
