[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The asfs principal is perfectly fine with the majority of her school population being sent to different communities.  Just saying.[/quote]

The ASFS principal has been there since day 1 of the school’s existence 20+ years ago.  She has been at the school when kids from all over Arlington could attend it, to just students in the team boundaries to it being almost exclusively a school for the Key neighborhood. She’s able to understand the long run and what’s best for APS. I’m not claiming that changing ASFS boundaries is a good or bad thing but I am saying she has a much wider perspective of how ASFS has functioned than the current community who may not want to move.[/quote]
I think many in the community are ok with moving.  The asfs principal may have created an amazing school, but she has no loyalty to the current student population other than those who pay big money to attend.  She will talk for hours about how much she loves the facility she has built, without mentioning anything about the community in it.  She values a pile of bricks more than a single of her students.  Which maybe if I had worked in the same job 20+ years I would too.  It’s not a sign of a good principal though.  [/quote]

So you think the principal should value her current students more than the school as a whole? I’m not sure any principal should do that.  I had four children attend ASFS for 16 years and over that time we had many ups and downs with her but I never once felt she needed to be loyal to us, whatever that means.  My kids got a fabulous education so I think the principal did her job and went way more than the proverbial extra mile. She absolutely built an amazing school and it was because of the help she had from multiple communities. [/quote]
