[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it problematic that Arlington offers two 100/class high school experiences to a tiny percentage of its population (HB & IB).   Clearly, the smaller groupings are hugely desired (I am not saying that desire is merited!).   It’s a lottery for everyone in Arlington BUT those zoned for W&????   That’s nuts to me.  [/quote]

Yes, and if it was Yorktown that had the IB program that would be so much more outrage. [/quote]
Why?[/quote]

Because privilege. [/quote]
Huh? Any more than WL parents' sense of privilege and entitlement?[/quote]

Yorktown has the highest percentage of white students and lowest percentage of farms students. If those students automatically could be accepted into IB, because of where they already live due to privilege, yes, I believe there would be more outrage than it being at WL.[/quote]

Well, then let's move it to YHS so we can get more outrage. I am against the neighborhood kids' access policy; so I'm all for increasing the outrage.[/quote]
