[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So asfs is 0.4 miles from two metro stops.  A lot of people metro and then walk.  
Either way there is a ton of bitterness on both sides at this point.
It’s not a particularly good school and the parents are crazy.  There’s bullying by parents. The extra science is a joke.  It’s  basically a third of the time that is set aside for fles.   Asfs sits on top of 66, and they are converting its field to artificial turf that is carcinogenic.  The administration is racist and classist.  its been this way for the past decade that I’ve had kids there.  Check out the review on great schools if you don’t believe me.  I’m not really sure what people are fighting for here.  [/quote]

As seen from the walk zone review it is far far too dangerous to walk from either metro stop to ASFS.  The cray crays made power point presentations and had the their civic associations lobby for how dangerous it was to walk to ASFS.  Oh yeah they lobbied the SB too.  The met with APS staff en mass.  This was in the misguided attempt to make ASFS more appealing as an option school location to support "the swap" with Key.  I'm sorry no one is bullying you, people are just calling a spade a spade.  When the Key community strongly opposed moving locations, the ASFS staff opposed moving, and the neighborhood opposed moving the school and the position taken by the cray crays is we would rather dismantle the school than to let anyone else go there that is offensive, illogical, and selfish.

If anyone was bullied is was the poor Cherrydale moms who were repeatedly verbally accosted by Rosslyn/Courthouse parents.

The school is great.  The field is being converted this summer yes.  No its not carcinogenic, but that another convenient made up "fact".  You really should stop playing the racist/classist card.  Besides the fact it simply is not true, the staff is very diverse and they welcome all who conduct themselves in a mutually respectful manor, misapplying the label undermines your credibility and your weak position.

It sounds like you don't like going to the school.  I suggest you go somewhere else.  There are many people who have invested much time and effort to make the school what it is today.
