[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no need for APS to provide virtual.  Virtual VA already covers that for those who want that option.  It's a waste of resources.[/quote]

Agree why would Arlington spend money on this???[/quote]

To hedge against overcrowding. If we don’t get demographic dip in 3 years, it’ll be pulled out to relieve capacity problems. [/quote]

This. Remember how APS needed a whole new 4th high school and came up with some crap piece meal solution? Plus, MMH which the County Board said isn’t going to add any students to APS. Enjoy![/quote]

I bet it's the same parents who oppose any sort of virtual instruction but are also UP IN ARMS about overcrowding. [/quote]

You don't think parents should be upset about overcrowding in schools? Virtual isn't the answer to overcrowding. How many will actually choose that? Not nearly enough going by last year's VLP program. Not even sure how virtual classes will be an answer to it. If they're  not upset now, they will be when their kid is facing either a 3000+ high school or being virtual for part of the week. Hope my kid gets into HB woodlawn. [/quote]

No one will choose virtual, it will be assigned that some days you school from home. Like the a/b cohorts during the pandemic. [/quote]

Seems like parents should be UP IN ARMS about that...[/quote]

if it comes to pass that is.  The point is that APS has no real plan to deal with the overcrowding.  [b]Kids at HB woodlawn and maybe Arlington Tech will have a pretty good deal[/b] while the 3 comprehensive HS piecemeal their way thru it.  Parents should and will be UP IN ARMS[/quote]
Yes, they will (as they already do); but wouldn't it be interesting if the # of students doubled with a hybrid program?  If students are going to rotate in-person/at-home, why not?[/quote]

Oh they can’t have hybrid virtual or any more students at HB, that would conflict with the model of the program. [/quote]
