[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think parents aren't urging more activity on a new high school partly because they can't believe their kid is ever going to be in high school. But also, a lot of the agitation comes from North Arlington, which managed to get its way on moving HB and creating a neighborhood school that they have to drive to. I suspect that they are expecting a similar level of accommodation when it's time for high school and they aren't thinking about the fact that APS is just plain out of land. [/quote]  They are not out of land. Have you not seen the reference to the presentation by school bd where it lists VHC carlin springs?[/quote]

That is not APS land. You cannot assume the county will continue  to give APS everything it asks for.[/quote]

I hardly think asking that Arlington students have a seat in a building, during traditional hours, is demanding.[/quote]

Define "Arlington students".

Parents own $1.5 million-plus SFHs? I wholeheartedly agree.

Living in some APAH property somewhere? Getting the Arlington housing grant? If I were in charge, I'd say you better make sure your alarm clock works and you can wake yourself up at 4:00 AM. Or you better remember to bundle up when you walk home at 11:30 PM on a January night from your sophomore Algebra I class.[/quote]

I live in a $700,000 SFH. When do my kids get to go to school?  :roll:

If we're making up arbitrary rules, I'm going to go by how long people have lived in Arlington. Did you grow up here and graduate from APS yourself? Your kids are first in line for the choice program you want or the schools with capacity. Move here and set down roots in your 20's? You're next. Move here right before you started having kids? Third. Not until the kids were ready to start school, you looked into the lotteries, and realized you had to move out of DC? Back of the line for you. I don't care how much you paid for your shitshack in 22207. I've invested decades in this community, then you show up, contribute to the overcrowding, and tell me my kids have to suck it up because you paid more for a house? Eff that. [/quote]

Preach sister![/quote]
