[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way they should "swap" Key with ASFS. The whole idea is to make choice schools more central, because they're serving kids from a larger geographic footprint. That needs to be a priority over whatever that one neighborhood is clamoring for now. Moving Immersion deeper into N Arlington doesn't cut it, especially since the Immersion "split" is designed to be East/West, not North/South. [/quote]

Thank you.

We're zoned for Key but sent our kids elsewhere because the principal seemed [not kid-friendly]. But parents who chase test scores need to be ignored, especially if they're part of a demographic in which the kids are going to do fine pretty much anywhere, and certainly in any of the schools Lyon Village kids could conceivably be sent to. Might there be a better fit for some kids at some schools? Yes, but so what? It's public school. You're not entitled to get a spot wherever you want. [/quote]
Sorry but the kids in Lyon village aren't the ones that are going to be rezoned out of asfs or bussed anywhere.  OF course lyon village is going to be part of the walk zone for whatever they come up with.  
The kids that are going to get screwed are the ones that live in colonial village, or clarendon, or rosslyn where its mostly apartments and condos and tonwhouses.  Yes you can argue that those kids are still better off than people that live in affordable housing, but they are a different demographic than lyon village.  [/quote]
