[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awesome!  Finally Duran is doing something that will improve APS. TJ takes up way too much of the discussion and everyone would be better off if it APS peaces out. [/quote]

+1.  There is no way to justify paying extra for students to attend TJ while cutting sports and extracurriculars for middle school students who stay in APS.[/quote]

wait, are you seriously advocating that it's better to keep sports than an exceptional academic experience? am I in an episode of Varsity Blues?[/quote]

I think it’s better for more students to have access to extracurricular activities that can help develop skills and interests, build character, and keep kids from getting trouble after school than to give more funds to a small number of students who go to TJ.  If TJ is such a high priority for those families, they can move to Fairfax.[/quote]

I am OK with them getting rid of Outdoor Lab though.  That whole thing was stupid.

Completely disagree.  Outdoor Lab was the highlight of my kids' elementary years. It also affords a very enriching and rewarding experience for many underprivileged kids at the highest FRL schools who very often never have such experiences outside of school. They could probably eliminate it for middle school, though.  But they could enhance it for environmental studies curriculum in high school.[/quote]
