[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way they can get away with limited enrollment is to make it fair. But it isn't. APS should shut the whole program down.[/quote]

What determines fair? How do you know that the reasons for the small number of students who get in other than through the application process weren't placed there for very good reasons? It truly is a small number, last school year, of the 244 middle school students at HB Woodlawn, 241 came in through the application process and 3 through administrative placement. At the high school level, out of 443 total students, 4 were there by administrative/special placement, and 439 by the countywide lottery. I'm sorry your child didn't make it into HB Woodlawn, but the placements of these students in the school weren't the reason.[/quote]

We didn't even apply. I am so opposed to this school I wouldn't want it if we did get in. I think it stinks, and I don't like paying for your snowflake to go there.[/quote]

Were you born an awful person or is this learned behavior after living in this area? Serious question.

You worry about you. [/quote]

I don't think my behavior is awful, and I think I'm pretty nice. I'm just tired of paying this program that we can't afford where some kids are more equal than others. It's bad enough when admissions are fair, but if it's not fair, it's unacceptable. I think most people would agree with me. [/quote]

Let me guess. APS using TJ is also a travesty?[/quote]
