[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in California schools that were always over capacity. It didn’t affect my education to have classes that met in a trailer. [/quote]

It isn't the trailers to which they object. It is that there are blacks and poors in the main building.  [/quote]

No.  It’s because a HS of 2200+ is too large.  It’s too many kids to feel a strong sense of belonging and community, too few kids get to play on sports teams, etc etc.[/quote]

The best public high schools in the DC area all have 2000+. You have no earthly idea what you are talking about.[/quote]

My public high school — one of the top ranked in the country — was 1000 total.

It was a great size.  Just because 2000+ may be common around here doesn’t make it ideal.[/quote]

Your response is non-sensical. Of course there are schools with 1000 that are good schools. And there are great public HS that are 3000. And what is best for your kid is specific to your kid. What I took issue with (and what your response tries to gloss over) is a blanket indictment of Wilson that it is too large...period. Not too large for your kid. But too large to offer opportunities for all, etc. That's nonsense wrapped up in garbage in a bouquet of detritus. [/quote]
