Are these just the options for year 1, with more planning units to be added? It doesn't seem like these options move enough kids.

Also, did you notice the APS has taken the boundary tool offline, so you can no longer easily see where these units are, how many students these options move, and what the demographics look like. Unbelievable.

A lot of the Arlington Forest families (ours included) really want to stay at W-L because it's walking distance for some and a safe short bike ride for others. Walk zone is especially critical for high schoolers who have after school activities and probably don't have cars. Wakefield is unwalkable and also there is no safe bike route. Families in AF willingly send kids to Barrett and Kenmore and aren't afraid of diversity, but most of those with kids old enough to be affected now or soon have lived in the neighborhood 10, 12, 15 years and many bought homes on the north side specifically so they could feed into W-L, which has enjoyed a strong reputation for decades. All the talk about "keeping the neighborhood" together is nonsense because it's one neighborhood in name only. Kids on the south side are zoned for Barcroft and Wakefield so the only overlap 3 years (out of 13) at Kenmore. Yes, there is one civic association, but they obviously don't speak for everyone, at least not on this issue. [/quote]

Just a tip for you. DO NOT USE THIS IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION EVER.

But you just love the diversity.  :roll: [/quote]

Yep, their post was all about diversity. Even if it was, [b]so what, some people don't value it like you do.   Not sure why that bothers you.  [/b]Can we get you down for your kids transferring to Wakefield?  [/quote]

It bothers me because you are talking about PEOPLE. Real, human people and it bothers me that you are being so cavalier about the value of other people.

But that's cool. We're not going to be friends or run in the same circles you sociopath. [/quote]

You didn't answer my question. You've offered no solution on how to help them, excepts send other people's kids in to do your dirty work. Hint, it's more than rubbing elbows in school together.  Maybe you van volunteer to help them since you believe they can't help themselves. You're clearly in Camp Whacko, can't reason with that.  It ISN'T a 15 Year Old's job to raise someone else's children. The school's can/should only do so much. Stop feeling guilty and foisting this guilt upon others, it's ok, it's not your fault. Just because we disagree, we can't be friends, aww, I'm hurt. Talk about being closed- minded. [/quote]
