[quote=Anonymous][quote]2) Placing most of the city’s ninth graders together in one school just doesn’t work. The maturity level of many ninth graders does not match the freedom that being in high school brings. The new Minnie Howard building can’t get finished soon enough from our perspective; when completed, it needs to house students from all four high school grades. It’s also time to revisit the idea of a second high school in Alexandria, which should result in fewer students within each school building.[/quote] I agree that a 9th grade only school is a terrible idea. Kids connect positively through activities, but when kids are in MH, and the activities groups are through a different campus, it creates a disconnect. My older child was much happier in the main building (younger is not there yet).[/quote]
