[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MPSA should close. No neighborhood school should be asked to close for an option school that serves the whitest and wealthiest students fleeing their south Arlington schools.

Close MPSA and  give neighborhood schools what they need to succeed. [/quote]

YES!
I've tried to be tolerant and accepting of MPSA over the years. But I'm done. Guess it doesn't matter, though, since they're getting what they want. The only thing left is expanding to the high school years. But after they get everything at the CC site, does anyone believe there's any chance they won't ultimately get that, too?[/quote]

I’m so happy you lost and so happy for alol option schools, not just MPSA. I totally disagree with you and am happy that neighborhood schools finally have to get in line and accept that choice programs should get their due when it is their time. I’m tired of local ES schools get g built and seeing who has the better slide while a school like MPSA has THE worst ES building in the system. There are no second-class schools in this county and never should be. Get over yourselves, I have. [/quote]

Hi back! Your threat of ill will is empty...it was always there. You NArl people only ever cared about your own school. I've seen this through the decades. Now there is a coming fight based on who should get renovations and I am happy that all of your neighborhood schools will be ranked on merit of which buildings need what - and not because you're some Mayberry fantasyland that deserves higher billing over other Mayberry schools.
P.S. - to anyone else here accusing MPSA of "angling" for the CC like it's a Cardinal/Fleet/Discovery or otherwise opulent new building, you must be new here or a Trump-like voter who is easily influenced. By the time Montessori moves in to the CC building, it will be more than a decade after they left Drew. And - go ahead and mark my words and come back to check in three years - it won't be a gleaming new building with a slide in the lobby. Rather, it will still be a barely renovated 60-year old brutalist shell. If you think there was a deep conspiracy of people who pulled marionette strings and sacrificed political lives just to come up with that, you must be daft. Also, good luck with whatever you're going to try to push for your own school because I bet you have even less support ...because nobody cares about your bespoke neighborhood Mayberry school but you, especially not other people at other bespoke neighborhood Mayberry schools. You all are going to spend the next decade eating each other until you figure out what the common good means again, including for other schools like choice.

Hi MPSA parent! We all know you angled to get the Patrick Henry building (which should have been torn down years ago) to get your dream one later. You won though for now. But you also have a lot of ill will from the wider community. APS is in a worse place because of your truly selfish advocacy. Sorry not sorry.[/quote][/quote]

Just in case anyone is wondering why MPSA parents get a bad rap, this post says it all. [/quote]
