[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t heard HB parents pushing for more students and making the program more accessible for all...
I haven’t heard general concern for the seat deficit.

Exactly.  HB parents keep their heads down and stay out of it.  They have to, their kids are getting a better experience than the rest for no reason other that having their name called.  We all pay the taxes, but a lucky few get private school.[/quote]

Wow.  Just wow.  You people are really something else.  How many of you have had kids attend both neighborhood schools and HB?  Very few, I'd bet.  If you did, you'd know that the education is no different.  [/quote]
Great, then it should be no problem to add another 500 kids to the program.

Very intelligent response.  Obviously there are other meaningful differences between the programs.  The point is that the differences don't make one program necessarily "better" than the other.  Just different.  We had kids thrive in both (and get into virtually the same top colleges, for all you DCUM posters obsessed with that).  As I've said before, you don't send your kid to HB over the neighborhood school for the academics.

Arlington is a liberal county with a progressive and varied approach to education.  It's been committed to "choice" programs for decades.  If that's not a philosophy that you agree with, there are plenty of other fine districts in the DC area.
