[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t we move Montessori back into Drew?

I know politics but is that really going to get in the way of the most obvious and cheapest fix?[/quote]

That was a terrible idea then and a terrible idea today. Drew deserves to be its own neighborhood school.  AMAC needs to stop sucking all of the oxygen. [/quote]

ok fine then let's just close Drew. It's not tenable to keep it open when no one wants to go there and it's soooo underenrolled.[/quote]

When they were discussing Montessori leaving Drew the young families.im the neighborhood that showed up to meetings wanted to move immersion to drew..

Then make claremont a neighborhood school[/quote]

Yes, that was one of the ideas discussed in the south arlington working group. It was a good suggestion. Claremont at the time was very crowded, Oakridge was well above capacity and looking at even worse crowding (hence a push for what became Fleet to be build in the 22206 area instead of the TJ site). Drew also would be closer to more native Spanish-speaking students than Claremont. But there was no way anything but a neighborhood school was going to be in Drew. it's not about what's best for the system; it's about what's most feasible after catering to specific interests and political optics.[/quote]
