[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, why not send a few to Sidwell?  Or why shouldn’t APS pay tuition for some really bright ones to just take classes at NOVa?   Or how about we have a lottery for a couple of students to do semester at sea?

I think all of these special programs for a random handful of kids are totally a waste of APS taxpayer dollars that we shoaled not be spending on other schools.  [/quote]

If APS is paying more or less the same amount to educate each student and giving choices to families to find an environment that works for them, I think that is what makes APS unique and wonderful. When we moved to Arlington, I was overwhelmed by the choices my elementary school kids had (Spanish immersion, ATS, APS Montessori, neighborhood school, etc) but once I learned about the programs, I appreciated having the choices. Now that my middle schooler is looking at HS choices down the road, it’s another learning curve but I’m grateful to have the opportunity to see what works best for my child.[/quote]
