[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:58 - yes, APS has proposed (not mandated - yet) that ATS grow by a lot. We are currently at 534 kids on an official capacity of 465 - they are proposing to take us to 750 kids by [b]sticking a bunch of trailers on our only outdoor paved spac[/b]e, plus a piece of playground currently heavily used by the county softball leagues. The l[b]unchroom is already full for all three shifts [/b]and kids eat lunch as early as 10:20 a.m. Adding 200 kids to an already fully-utilized lunch room will mean that some kids might literally be standing in line to buy lunch the entire lunch period. (which would most affect the FARMS kids who buy lunch every day.) We are[b] gradually moving to 4 classes per grade[/b] anyway, but with the county projected to have excess capacity of over 200 students in a few years, [b]we are fighting the idea of serious overcrowding[/b].[/quote] Welcome to much of the rest of Arlington's reality. You are not going to win the rest of us over by your statements that I bolded. You sound absolutely clueless![/quote] Yup - keep talking your way into a corner. Talk about sheltered![/quote] No shit right? Is all of our taxes plus, it's just a school with tucked in shirts and a principal who fakes test scores by holding back kids rather than testing them for specific learning disorders in reading. Wow. It's amazing that such violation of IDEA law is allowed in APS.[/quote]
