The ES parents and preschool parents should be the ONLY ones with any say since it will be our kids who have to live with the decisions. [/quote]

But the parents of older kids are the ones who have lived with high school aged kids and know what does and doesn't cause problems.

Remember how during the Stratford/Wilson debate, all those parents of second graders were worried about where kids would have recess at Wilson?

Middle school. Recess.

(That's not to say that there weren't other reasons to decide against Wilson MS)[/quote]

I may not have teenagers, but I do know that distance learning and shifts are a crap idea and are a cop out we will have to utilize because APS kicked the can for too long. Also, I was a teenager who went to a mega school. It was a magnet school, and even as someone who was part of the smaller program within a very large school, it was not a positive experience for me. Many were fine, but I was not. Remains to be seen whether my children are like me in this regard, but we moved to Arlington because I hoped to avoid finding out the hard way. We'll put in for HB and if that doesn't work I guess we'll explore private options. [/quote]

No one is proposing high school in shifts or distance learning as a solution. They were talked about earlier but never should have been brought up in the first place. [/quote]

Get real. WTF do you think "early college" is?[/quote]
