[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if APS has more money because it doesn’t pay for a ridiculous amount of busses for one option school? That money can go to help all students, not just the lucky few who get into ATS.

It needs to go. We can’t afford the disproportionate amount of funds it sucks out of other schools with all those buses. [/quote]

What you think is a waste (transportation), many members of our community feel is a good use of funds, one that helps them work longer hours to afford the feed their children and keep roofs over their heads. Time that they would spend walking their young kids to school is time that they can't be working. Forcing everyone to walk, to save money for the overall system to use in ways that may or may not benefit every student, is not equity. It's uniformity. The two words don't mean the same thing. Not all students or families need the same or would benefit from the same thing. This isn't about ATS per se, but all option schools. Just because you don't place value in something does not mean there isn't value for some family or some child. Who are you to tell others what is best? Not everything is best for everyone. [/quote]
