[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know how hard HB fought to stay in Vacation Lane. That large property was needed for the greater good. The fight was ugly and HB brought in the NAACP to throw racist insinuations on people who who supported keeping HB, but at another site. (While in fact, HB is highly white and affluent.) That, combined with a refusal to co-locate with other small programs (Montessori, preschool, immersion) and backroom politics to overbuild the new Taj Ma High School (now over $100M) have made a lot of the community resentful and less supportive of HB. HB frequently comes across as an entitled community these days.[/quote]

Totally right.

When my daughter was of the age to apply, we did not because the program did not seem a good fit for my kid's disposition. Now as we have actually experienced the chaos at an overcrowded high school and Arlington is struggling to manage the numbers, it seems that a lucky few get a lucky lottery number that lets them escape the chaos for better.
