[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a few years all high school students will be taking classes online in Arlington and high school will look very different for all students.

Based on my DC's experience with online language, this would be a complete nightmare...

Of course it will be, but they're not going to have any other option because they've kicked the can for too long and the kids are here. Can't fit 10 pounds of potatoes into a 5 pound sack, so online courses and shifts it is. Unreal. And that they would try to spin it as if it's anything other than a complete failure is beyond reason.

So, what do you do?  It doesn't seem like anything other than massive protests (more than just matching shirts) will accomplish anything.

I don't know what we'll do and I am hoping that a lot of people move away. I don't think that's realistic, though.  We are here b/c the schools *are* good ( i LOVE our elementary), we like being able to walk instead of drive for a lot of trips and the commute means we get to spend time with our family instead of other commuters stuck in traffic.  I saw a new community out in LC a few weeks back that looks charming, but I realized we'd never see our kids until the weekend b/c we'd be in traffic for hours and hours a week.  I wish we could afford private.[/quote]

It's not realistic to "hope for people to move away".  If ANY member of the SB or CB really, even secretly, thinks that or hopes for that they should be ashamed.  Some will move, but not the bulk.  Plus, Arlington is attracting people from all over and building, building, building.  More density.  More students.

I just recently chatted with a mom on a playground, fresh from Ulan Bator.  She had 3 kids under 5, and was pregnant!   She is reuniting here with some friends from home, who all have similar aged kids, all ready to enter the schools in 1-5 years.

APS won't know what hit them!!![/quote]
