[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're not going to do any of this. You cray. Certainly not any sort of tracking or "school within a school." Just move already. That's what they're going to tell you. [/quote]

Not cray. This is exactly what they did on the north side 25 years ago. It’s been done before.[/quote]

I am kind of new to the north side...but what elementary school(s) in NA did they put a "school within a school" 25 years ago?[/quote]

It wasn’t really school within a school, but [b]science focus, the team schools, and Key immersion was all about serving the middle class in that part of the county. I’m merely suggesting we get creative to do the same on the other side of the county. [/b]
That APS considers school within a school at Drew a failure, is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow. Many families felt very well served by the Montessori program at Drew. I do agree it’s perferable they have a dedicated building. It doesn’t negate the success of that program as it stands now.[/quote]

And guess what? All of those programs have been dismantled, THIS YEAR. They're not going to start them up again in south Arlington. They really don't care about you, but feel free to waste your time and make an a** of yourself in the process. [/quote]

You seem very angry. I’m not sure why you are so emotional over this. This is the beginning of a discussion. It think it’s helpful to start thinking outside of the box. [/quote]

Because you are being ridiculous. It's not "outside of the box" thinking. It's magical thinking. You have not been paying attention, so let me help you out here:

The ES boundaries will be drawn based on geographic proximity, aiming to maximize the number of walkers and make bus routes more efficient. That's it. Nothing else. There won't be any new option programs, but they may move some currently existing programs from their current locations, again to maximize the number of walkers and make bus routes more efficient. It's best to deal with reality rather than pie-in-the-sky ideas that they SB and APS staff has already rejected very recently. Why would you waste your time, or anyone else's time like that? If you start from an idea that might actually be possible, you might be able to accomplish something. But if you're just going to go back to ideas that have been floated and recently rejected, you aren't doing anything other than wasting effort. [/quote]
