[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Read the post. Where did it say it’s worse? Two things can be true at the same time. Some of the middle school buildings are in bad shape. But I too have scratched my head over uninformed views of the Heights being some kind of palace. It’s not. It has its issues too. These same HB haters would probably be the first to complain if their kids went there.  It was expensive yes but building a new school these days isn’t cheap and the site was challenging. [/quote]

Please it won a bunch of design awards and environmental kudos; it’s almost brand new.  Compared to Swanson and Williamsburg, it’s ridiculous to complain about cosmetic issues like PP, especially at an OPTION school you don’t have to attend.  [/quote]

Kids don't care about the stacked box design or environmental stuff, they care about whether its too loud to focus on tests because of the echoing hallways and whether they have to carry a backpack full of books up and down five flights of stairs because their locker is on the fifth floor and their classes and the lunchroom are spread across a mid-rise building. Parents care about whether there is anywhere to park for school events (not really, underground lot a block away) and if they have the right spaces and equipment to offer kids a full range of classes.

This turned into someone complaing about a school they voluntarily send their kid to?  WTAF?[/quote]

Not the PP. I am a mostly very happy HB parent, but like all schools, I have some complaints. Before the HB hater jumped in, this was a post asking about HB. We HB parents can't describe the bad parts too so parents are aware before they commit? Why not?

Complaining about the building when considering the condition of all the other middle schools is just a bad lock. Complain about the parking sure, but you are light years ahead of everyone else.[/quote]

We're telling it like it is, what's wrong with that? Otherwise people may listen to uninformed haters and go to HB because they think it's some palace when it's really not. Sorry you don't like the hear the reality that interferes with your narrative. [/quote]
