No wonder the Montessori vote went the way that it did![/quote]
Don’t Miranda Turner’s kids go to MPSA? She voted against her own interest [/quote]

I am so confused by Miranda Turner’s vote when she kids at MPSA. Anyone understand this?[/quote]

Her kids will have moved on to HB-W along like Mary's and Bethany's kids before her by the time MPSA is finished. [/quote]

I see. So selfish. [/quote]

People who are trying to sidedoor into an option lottery school are also selfish since there's a waitlist of kids trying to get in. H-B has a number of kids who don't seem to be coming from the waitlist showing up.[/quote]

How do you know this? Please be specific. You know the names of kids on the waitlist and the names of kids now going to H-B? You know the position of kids on the waitlist and that kids are now at H-B and they could not possibly be off the waitlist at this point? You used the plural--this is multiple kids? From which base schools? How do you know this? Social media? Family friends? You work at APS central? [/quote]

Thank you. I bet you'll get no answer. People like their conspiracy theories about HB. [/quote]

Agree -- "undeserving kids are getting into H-B" is the Arlington version of "immigrants are eating cats and dogs" -- red meat to a very specific constituency[/quote]

So dumb. Comments like this is why we need separate classrooms for different levels of cognitive ability. People that are actually intelligent and engaged in their school communities know the shenanigans that happen in APS admin circles. Do you really not know any examples of people getting into, from the beginning or transferring into ATS and/or HB separate from the lottery? Since Tech is in demand, it probably includes them now, too. It's a known thing and the main problem I see is that they almost always seem to be not the normal kids: they're either bullies or the bullied, sped, or mental disorder kids. We were one of these categories that admin and teachers should have prevented but (protected the several mental 504 kids and) didn't until it got escalated above their pay grade. And somehow a spot opened up at one of the lottery schools over that summer without our even asking. How sererendipitous, right?[/quote]

What do you mean you escalated it? To who? We don't believe you unless you give more details. Calling us dumb doesn't help. [/quote]
