[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the pp misunderstood the WL guy. My kids won't be at that school, but I do think a 4,000 student school is a very bad idea.  Even if APS increases IB and adds other programs,, WL will still be their home school. Thanks means 4,000 kids FS for 1 sports team, 1 school play, 1 debate team, etc. it will be hurt the students and this dumb 9th grade academy is just a way to make parents this their kid is getting a special deal when they are really just getting cheated out of a regular HS experience.

PP here. I'm not dismissing his concern. Heck I agree with him, I wouldn't want my kids going to a school that big. It was the attitude that rubbed me the wrong way - and not just from him. He was raising his voice and telling everyone he didn't CARE about any of the other topics we were discussing: choice schools, elementary boundaries, transportation, etc. I understand advocating for your own family's needs. But he needs to understand W-L is not Maret or Sidwell Friends, and his daughter is in a public school system. And it seems a lot of other parents basically came to the meeting to say how "crazy" anyone was who disagreed with them. There was so little energy devoted to finding compromises.[/quote]
