[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that gets me is that bitter people whose kids didn't get into HB want to destroy it by closing it or changing it beyond recognition What good does that do for anyone? It doesn't help the kids who are there, and it also doesn't help the kids who didn't get in.

Arlington Tech is also really great. Are you against that too? [/quote]

DP. I don't have kids at the high school level yet but this argument never sits right with me.  The school system is set up with lottery options that many people perceive as "better."  Personally, I think this is an unfair system but I would enter my kid in the lottery because this is the system we have.  I can understand why people are annoyed when their kids don't get in and why they might wonder why it can't be bigger to give more kids that opportunity.  If anything, people arguing against that idea in this environment seem like resource hoarders.  This is a PUBLIC school system.  [/quote]

I agree more kids should have these types of opportunities, but the answer isn't to destroy the programs we do have. The answer is to have more programs. HB really isn't right for a lot of kids, but other types of programs probably would be. So go advocate for more types of options. [/quote]

But why would HB be destroyed if it were expanded a bit?  This is just a theoretical question, I don't think APS will add more oe expanded options at this point.  [/quote]
