[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put some trailers in that site and force them to take on 500 more kids. LIKE THE REST OF APS!!! Those sanctimonious HB parents make me want to VOMIT. [/quote]

I noticed on AEM that the most sanctimonious one about how white HB is said that she has kids (plural) there. [/quote]

Nothing fishy about that at all! But even if it were all fair and square (which it’s clearly not), it’s still rotten. We don’t have space for these snowflake programs. Stick those kids ... all plural of them... in trailers like the rest of our kids. [/quote]

If you don’t want your kids in trailers you can transfer to another school in APS that is less crowded. Two middle schools that have zero trailers were accepting transfers this year. [/quote]

But I sure can’t send them to HB. Only the chosen ones can go there. [/quote]

Yes. The ones randomly chosen.

Can't wait until your kids apply to college and it's not even random. Boy are you in for some disappointment. [/quote]

I think most of us believe the initial lottery is random and 75 lucky kids are chosen (for middle school) each year. The issue we have is with those who get in outside of the lottery process.   Current HB middle school class sizes are around 82-85, quite a few “extras” end up at HB each year.  That would be great if these extras were being taken from the waitlist but that doesn’t seem to be happening.  It seems to be another “system” that gets certain kids in outside of the lottery. Without transparency after the initial lottery we’ll never know what is actually happening...  [/quote]
