[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reasons you count twins as one is not because of "the biological connection" but because of the logistics, even at the secondary level.

There's a reason APS can't figure things out logically, and it appears to be the board.[/quote]

That argument holds water at the elementary level, where parents have to be much more involved in getting kids dressed, fed, etc & ensuring a safe trip to the bus stop or school. You'll have a hard time convincing me there's serious "logistics" issues with a couple 15-year olds going to different schools. Especially in a county as small as Arlington, where the next high school isn't more than 5 miles away.[/quote]

I don't disagree with you, but I also think this is just so NOT IMPORTANT. Have a twin policy or don't, whatever. Just as long as it doesn't deprive someone else of a seat, or mean they are advantaged in the lottery, which is I think what Goldstein was pressing on. This is not worth even 2 minutes of conversation. Van Doren got what she wanted and then wasted additional time throwing a tantrum. Not just time wasting but completely unprofessional.

This is the kind of micromanaging bullshit that drives me crazy. The school board should be setting broad policy and dealing with planning and big picture. Not dickering over fucking twin preference policies for teenagers.[/quote]
