[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s crazy that APs spends so much money on so few kids when the high schools suck and are bursting at the seams.  They are going to “shifts” for in person learning in the next few years while hb has like 100 per grade?  Insane.[/quote]

I'm PP and just want to be clear here:  APS is not spending so much money on so few kids at HB anymore.  What cost the money (and a crazy amount of money I agree) was building the building.  But APS doesn't spend more per kid at HB than at other schools -- HB keeps the costs down by not having the staff that other schools have and making everyone teach.[/quote]

Well that works because the kids who would need the staff they didn’t hire end up leaving HB or never applying. It’s like how Charter schools counsel out troublesome kids in DC. [/quote]

Oh those poor kids that have to go to Yorktown[/quote]

My point is that HB Is free riding off the other schools. If all schools increased teacher to student ratio by eliminating counselors it would be a pickle. [/quote]

Other schools have many, many more adults in the building per student because they have more English language learners receiving language support/instruction and more students receiving special ed support from aides than H-B provides. Not to mention the layers of admin etc that you get when you have so many more kids per grade and such a large student body. In addition to not having 10 counselors, 4 counseling admins, and a counseling director, they only have 2 assistant principals for 7 grades, not 7, they don't have curriculum leads, etc. [/quote]
