[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problems with ACHS all stem from one problem: It's too big. 4,200 high school students is too many to effectively teach, let alone build a functioning school community around. Not enough space, teams, clubs, college counselors - nothing! The only way to make ACHS a significantly better place to learn is to open a new school.[/quote] I actually went to a 6000 person high school that had similar demographics to ACHS. My senior class had 1500 kids in it. The difference is that we were all kept on a very short leash. We had a campus with multiple buildings that we went between but caught outside between classes and punishment was dealt out. Of course we hated it and felt we were in a “prison” where no one trusted us. We had two credible bomb threats while I was there and the students who called them in were prosecuted. It’s time to start following through with discipline. [/quote]
