[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole thing is being done to give back a mess of neighborhood seats to Courthouse. So I’d say the plan does quite nicely by central Arlington.  No one wants to hear about Reed hoarding seats for “future growth.”  There a neighborhoods that need those seats today. Get real.

How can you say the proposed plans do quite nicely for central Arlington? [b]Does anyone disagree that Ashlawn is getting hurt by the proposed plans[/b]??? [/quote]

Emphatically. [/quote]

Then clearly you don't understand the impact of the proposed changes on the school and community. It will significantly change the student body and minimize diversity. At a school whose motto is "global citizenship" and being accepting of all differences. Turning Ashlawn into another NW school does hurt it.

DP.  I understand your point, I’m just thoroughly over the “my school is more precious than any other” argument we’ve been hearing from so many school communities for years.  Everyone thinks their own school community is special, but that’s not a compelling argument for anyone outside of it.[/quote]
