Fact check: Hamm's addition is not complete. It's actually at capacity for the amount of classrooms that are open. It'll be at capacity next year when the addition opens and grandfathering ends. |
Based on comments made by APS staff, I think they will rather enjoy sticking it to the middle school crazies. |
Wait, if they are zoned for Long Branch, won't they want to be zoned back to TJ so they can have continuity between elem and middle school friendships -- that was the entire crux of their argument from what PP is saying? Would that really hurt home values, TJ seems fine. |
Hmm, touched a nerve eh... guess you were part of that clan who marched on the school board... |
There you go being reasonable. You've got the wrong people. |
Seriously. Hamm is a new school in an old under construction building -- opening AT capacity would have been doubling down on misery. |
Perhaps these PP are not so much as dredging up old information as they are highlighting the fact that you continue to spout the same nonsense as before and developing your narrative that best serves your DC without consideration for others and the greater good of the system (because you are car-free and "special" ) - yes, you should be able to go to any school's aftercare because you walk everywhere. Sorry, your logic is lost on me.

What about an extended day late bus? Like it runs at 5:30PM and collects from like 5 schools and drops the kids home? There is routing software so you could just sign up people and generate an optimized route each year? |
Well based off of comments made by APS staff when there was still a swap on the table, they really got a kick out of sticking it to the people who live around asfs. Too bad the projection worked out such that they need two neighborhood schools there! Loved hearing you guys justify not wanting immersion in your neighborhood though ("its such a bad location for a spanish school", "do we want people from outside the neighborhood coming here?", yes those are actual quotes people said in public). |
Ooh yes, do share your source there. Where was that said? |
We've got the crazies on one side and the racist a-holes on the other. Good times. |
Agree it would have been bad to open at full capacity with the building incomplete, but isn't it going to still be under when the grandfathering ends? There are 305 6th graders in Sept, so stretch that over 3 years and you have 915 kids in a 1000 kid capacity building. I think they are considering a middle school program move in the future to relieve Gunston. |
Oh you must be referring to me. I live in the neighborhood and my children attend Key and no we did not support moving it away from our native Spanish speaking population to Cherrydale (closer to ME) with zero spanish speaking population. Any what was it about this "justification" you loved so much? That we cared about our people instead of chewing each other up and spitting them out like you do with your people. Disgusting. |
+1 Yep, the crazies loved talking about “their” neighborhood elementary school and how they were completely entitled to chop up and move everything from the “Lincoln Street” site to the new ASFS on Key Boulevard. |

LOL on them keeping Civic Assoc's in tact. It reminds me of the Fairlington people crying last year that you couldn't possibly cut a community DIVIDED BY A HIGHWAY in half. People, there are streets in Arlington where the north side goes to one school and the south side goes to another. And not major streets. Residential streets.
Also, they don't care about keeping kids together elem and middle school. At a school board meeting last year they affirmed the policy of sending even one planning unit off to a diff middle school as long as the planning unit had 15 kids or something -- and not even 15 5th graders, total. They are happy to peel off 1-2 kids and send them by themselves. |
