[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clubs and sports are certainly affected by the decision to have one gigantic high school. There is only one soccer team, tennis team, basketball team, drama club, etc... Even with JV, opportunities are much more limited. One team for a school of 2000 is going to provide more opportunity than one team for a school of 4500.[/quote] There were 92 kids that tried out for baseball. JV and Varsity roster combined is 40. So yeah, half the kids that wanted to play for their HS couldn't. That's messed up. Now you have 52 kids doing nothing after school.[/quote] 52 kids that could join the track team. or be involved in the school play or get a part time job or join other clubs.[/quote] This is BS. The school needs to do better. If they can't provide sports for all the students they should build more highschools. Isv like to see city council bulls more schools with the same urgency they are building subsidized apartments in the city. [/quote] You don't understand Alexandria at all. The majority of residents don't care about the schools - never have and never will. That's why there are counties in MD and VA where people who do care move.[/quote]
