[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confused by 9:10's post - he has long complained about the purported "AP bubble" at TC Williams, and his solution to what he sees as the problems within ACPS is to provide students with more choices.

We get it - he thinks ACPS needs to be more like APS.  But it seems hypocritical to complain about the choices that currently exist within TC, and then turn around and suggest that ACPS balkanize itself further.  [/quote]

No, not really. The division that currently exists is between elite and everyone else. The choices I have proposed are far more dynamic, not a "Balkanization." TC isn't the Balkans -- that's the wrong metaphor. It's more like Apartheid-era South Africa or, if you prefer, aristocratic England.  My choices would also create more physical locations, which I think would be beneficial.

APS isn't my model, anyway. My model is a state university system.

And my proposal is fundamentally rooted in changing the institutional culture of the school system, because that's what is broken. IMO.[/quote]
