[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that if you want to have neighborhood schools in a densely populated area, you're likely to end up with segregated schools. I want my kids to be able to walk, although for the right program, I'd put them on a bus. (For me, H-B or a duplicate would be the right program; for a lot of parents, ATS or ASFS through middle or high school would be it. I think popular NArl programs should be moved south, but then we'd be taking away the neighborhood schools in SArl, which would be obnoxious.)[/quote]

ASFS is a neighborhood school, not a program like ATS.[/quote]

But it doesn't have to be. They could put a regular elementary school in that space, and then people in the neighborhood who don't do immersion would not be taking up spaces in a very popular program when all they want/need is to NOT be in immersion.[/quote]

Well--many of the parents bought homes specifically to get into this school.  We did want this program.[/quote]

True. Lots of people buy into Key b/c it's a guaranteed way to buy into a choice school.[/quote]

We bought in Key for ASFS. But I don't think the current system makes sense.  Key & ASFS should be choice schools and there should be a regular walkable (high performing) neighborhood school. After my kids are done. ;)[/quote]
