[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dislike the W-L parents I've met so much that I could never envision the school as a good social environment.  Parents at both Yorktown and Wakefield are much friendlier and don't act like they have as much to prove. [/quote]

The YHS parents are the most insufferable out there.  They constantly talk about how dangerous Wakefield is and how many minorities go to W-L.  Nice try again Yorktown troll.  You never cease to amaze me, but we all know you've never met a Wakefield parent in your life...in your bubble in lily-white land. :roll: [/quote]

Exactly. Yorktown parents are an overly demanding and overbearing bunch--some well respected coaches at Yorktown have been forced out over the past few years by the parents who demand teams that win with consistency. A conference win every few years doesn't cut it.

That does not happen at Arlington's other high schools. [/quote]

This is the typical W-L trash talk. The level of insecurity there is off-the-charts, even though APS has done more to try and help that school than any other. What they can't do is give the W-L parents any class.[/quote]

Just the facts. At least three long-time, well-respected coaches at Yorktown were dismissed within the last few years, because of parents who didn't approve of the direction the teams were going in. From what I've seen on this forum, W-L parents have been very diplomatic, even as their neighborhoods and school pyramids are attacked. [/quote]

I was at a girls basketball game a few years ago and some white W-L parents were joking about how no one could understand anything that came out of the mouth of the team's black coach.  It didn't leave a great impression.[/quote]

I'm shocked to hear that white people in n Arlington are racists (allegedly, of course).[/quote]

The w-l girls bball coach was white. [/quote]
