[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some ASFS parents want to delay the changes so they can lobby for ASFS to become the option school, [b]rather than Key.[/b][/quote]

Do they realize how idiotic that sounds?  You can't make immersion a neighborhood school.  You need families to buy-in to support the bilingual education and need to balance native Spanish speakers with those learning it.

ASFS has for a long time been essentially the neighborhood school for the Key boundary since the "team" approach has ceased to function effectively. I needs to be made an actual neighborhood school and boundaries adjusted.  APS is not going to make it an 800-student school.

There is nothing super-special about ASFS that justifies it being a countrywide choice school.  Multiple schools have science-oriented programs (Barrett, Hoffman-Boston, I believe).  The only thing unique about ASFS is it has a lot of rich parents who bought it a nice science lab.[/quote]
My kids go to asfs and I totally agree.  There is all this talk about it being a choice program, which is silly because it has a few extra science things maybe,  not enough to really differentiate it.   I consider it our neighborhood school, we didn't have to lottery in.   
I'm just worried that we will get screwed in redrawing boundaries and end up getting bussed across the county to discovery because my planning unit doesn't contribute as much to political campaigns as the folks in Lyon village.[/quote]
