[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the above poster, but I truly believe he thinks specialized programs are the future. I think he believes he will be heralded as an innovator. That by the time this is all rolled out, slowly over the next few years, we will all be on board. So, no need to be too transparent. People fear change and won't understand his vision. We'll all be cool with it in 10 years. 
I went to a big high school by NOVA standards. It was fine at approx 2500. I do think there is a limit, and I think we will be past it with 3,000 student high schools. Even with these super cool programs, it seems like a lot of kids trying out for the team, school play, etc etc... 
everyone is losing their minds about redrawn lines and busing. This plan seems to exacerbate that. I wonder if kids in Arlington Tech will really want to be trekking back to Yorktown for Track, or Wakefield for a capella rehearsal. 
this plan seems to be forcing kids into specialized "tracks"'way too soon. It will discourage them from trying different things. 
But the taxpayers will save money. That is clearly what matters in super liberal arlington.

I think this discussion has shown than Arlington isn't quite what it likes to believe it is.  I prides itself on good planning but the planning in APS could not be worse.  It prides itself on being liberal, but just suggest that some middle-class families move to Wakefield and they show their true colors. [/quote]
