[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The inspirational Remember the Titan movie probably has something to do with the city’s current one high school policy. Reopening one or both of the closed high schools like GW or Hammond or building another brand new one funded by new development (at Landmark or National Landing) would undo the unifying legacy of the story.

Hopefully the ACHS academies work out. Albert Einstein HS in Kensington is the only other local high school I can think of that offers numerous academy pathways. It’s a very small high school though at about 1800 students, a majority of them on reduced lunches, but generally high standardized test scores. [/quote]

So Alexandria is failing generations of kids because of a 24 year old movie. Sounds exactly like the depth of Alexandria's convictions.

It's funny, that movie (highly fictionalized) was one of the many excuses people gave me over the years NOT to rename TC. I would point  out that their high school was named after a racist bigot and the response included so many excuses include a movie.   :roll:

When it was finally fashionable a few years ago to change the name, those same people had signs outside their houses demanding the school be renamed.

Maybe they'll catch up someday or cave when it becomes unfashionable to have one giant school that fails most of the kids who go there. For now...we have to have it because of a movie or something. Classic Alexandria. [/quote]
