[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like there are a lot of angry entitled people here in arlington. My kids are too young for APS. We still have two years to go. We moved here because we liked the schools, the location and the people. Apparently we were wrong about the people. Why the push to shut down a school your kids don’t even go to? Many parents are happy with it and since it’s prosucing excellent results then why shut it dow ? And why the the bashing of tuckahoe parents, McKinley parents and future Reed parent? Why the bashing of Nottingham’s PTA? We are currently zoned for Tuckahoe. It looks like we might be rezoned McKinley and Reed in 2021. I’m not worried because all the schools in that area seem great. I’m hoping Reed will take the pressure off other schools and reduce overcrowding. If we end up having an option school in the area then that’s a win cuz we will have great neighborhood schools and maybe a great option school. The bashing is disgusting. Now I will wonder if I know any of you horrible people in real life.[/quote]

Are you new here?[/quote]

Clearly. In time, he or she will come to the realization that it really is a zero-sum game. [/quote]

Yes I’m new here. And no it’s not a zero sum game. All these schools - Tuckahoe, McKinley, Nottingham, Jamestown and Discowry are all great schools. So who cares if one of them becomes an option school and students are rezoned to the other schools? I hope ATS stays where it is to serve the south arlington families that need it. Obviously if moves to Nottingham then that would be great for us. But the families that take their children there take them for a reason and their needs should be considered. I wish there would be less in fighting and a greater push for comprehensive solutions. We also need to push for more funding on the county level.[/quote]
