[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP:  and the reason why most people in Vienna prefer Thoreau over LJ is location.  Not racial issues.  We would rather our kids go to a school in Vienna.  Why?  because we live in Vienna.

I have no doubt that LJ is a good school.  I also have no doubt that it will take my DD 25 min or more each way to get to LJ.[/quote]

It is interesting because those same location issues are present in the Cooper/Longfellow debate about adding an AAP center at Cooper and many of the Cooper parents are fighting to keep their kids at Longfellow.  [/quote]

And at Kilmer as well.  The difference is that the AAP programs at Longfellow and Kilmer are older and have been top feeders to TJ, particularly Longfellow.  If LJ had a year when as many students got into TJ as from Kilmer, much of the grousing about LJ would stop.  Since that hasn't happened yet, the advocates for opening an AAP center at Thoreau have tended to stay busy.

Which is fine, if they are OK with smaller AAP programs at virtually every middle school.  I just wish that some of them wouldn't think it helps their case to complain about non-existent gangs at LJ or make it sound like the LJ cafeteria sits in the middle of an interstate. [/quote]
