[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be curious how many people try to lottery into HB because they really like the format, and how many do it because it's a better learning environment in terms of not being massively overcrowded and lost in the shuffle. [/quote] Isn't that the same thing? It's a smaller school, all the adults basically know all the kids, the TA format and first-name thing lets kids form closer, more trusting relationships with teachers--it's all part of the format [i]and[/i] size. [/quote] Without judging, let's say I'm not a fan of the egalitarian, call teachers by first names, open campus concept. BUT, I don't want my child lost in the shuffle of a mega HS like the three comprehensive HS's are becoming, so we enter him in the HB lottery anyway. ArlTech is another small program, and that in itself might be compelling to people, even if the fundamental format isn't their first choice. [/quote]
