All the reasons you are frustrated by, or dislike ACPS

I'm not posting that information. I'm tired of being mocked and I don't believe that the question is being asked with honesty or integrity. I definitely don't want the school staff to be held up under such scrutiny from the likes of you people. They deserve better.

There is the poster. I have no problem with you not sharing personal information here. But I see you needed to take another pot shot at parents who have had experiences with ACPS differing from you.

There’s a reluctance in many people to admit that they largely lucked into a good situation. They’d prefer to believe it was entirely their behavior or choices that brought them to this lucky place, rather than—more likely—a combination of both.

Because the people with power and money send their kids to private school.

If you read ACPS's blurb on thier high school project website it's absolutely mind blowing what thier reasoning is for why it would be racist to have 2 or 3 high schools in Alexandria. They are comparing Alexandria to Alabama. Like the demographics of a widely diverse DC suburb is any thing like the demographics of deep south Alabama. I'm so glad that Hutchings is out, but it's time to move on from his crazy thinking that just because Alexandra's original high schools 80+ years ago were racist we can't plan for the future.

You agree with that PP that our frustrations with ACPS’s failures to meet the needs of our special needs students is solely our fault?

You agree with that PP because the PP has had a good experience with ACPS, everyone else with as long as they acted like the PP and that ACPS special needs poor testing score have no relevance?

That is what you are agree with when you say you agree with the PP.

Well the current progressive line of thought is that anything that involved racism in the past can never change and will always be racist, no matter what.

ACPS, the Mayor and City Council refuse to have a second high school. Yet they are increasing elementary school sizes which seems to acknowledge a future enormous increase in students. Aren't those elementary kids going to go to high school? Where will they put them, if they aren't planning a second or third or fourth high school now?

It defies logic to not build another high school now.

So why are they refusing? What do they hope to gain out of having only one over crowded high school where violence and gang activity is increasing? I don't know the answer.

It's really mild blowing. The school is currently to big and the students are suffering. The only conclusion I see to this is that city council just wants people to give up go with the flow and put their kids into private school when they reach the upper grades.

Just scroll down to look at this crazy explanation for why we can only have one high school it's absolutely rediculous.

Kids at ACHS were complaining seven years ago about the overcrowding and that they didn't feel safe and feared what would happen in an emergency.

But what about the kids who can't go to private? The school will still be massively over crowded. It's over crowded now.
