[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Close the option schools, use what actually works (everyone wants ATS, great, we all get ATS), and rezone to balance attendance. Done. [/quote]

you are so far from reality or what parents actually want[/quote]

I am an APS parent. South Arlington parents want “diversity” and a bigger house, but don’t actually want to send their kids to a neighborhood school where they might have to go to school with their neighbors’ kids. Wealthy parents want the private school experience if they can get it for free. Everyone’s looking for something special.

End the special. Make all schools equal and - this is important - equally good. Save the money on the busses, end the waitlists, toss the lottos. The school near your house is where you go (except for something like special ed where it actually makes sense to concentrate resources). [/quote]

The problem is that your neighbors don't want to go to the neighborhood school. The problem isn't with the option schools. End the neighborhood schools. Make all schools option. [/quote]
