[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Key, and we would actually be happy not to get involved with the hyper competitive momzilla rat-race which is ASFS. But we don't like immersion programs, so this is where we'll wind up because we have the option of one specialty school or the other and not a regular school. [/quote]

I am in the same boat. I wish I had another option.[/quote]
That's what the petition wants too- maybe you should sign it.  It was not the best worded petition I've ever seen, but it was pretty clear to me that they thought that a facility closer to the Orange Line (ASFS/Key) should be converted to a neighborhood school, and the corresponding program be moved elsewhere.  If ASFS were converted to a neighborhood school, wouldn't people nearby simply be happy to go there?[/quote]

Nope. I paid a lot of fucking $ and waited 2 years for a house to come on the market in Key boundary for guaranteed admission to ASFS.

There is a reason LV real estate/ Wilson blvd side is priced much higher than the Clarendon blvd/Ashton/LP side.  The elem and middle schools are a big factor.[/quote]And you wonder why the rest of Arlington thinks that LV folks feel themselves a privileged class.  "I paid more than others, thus, I shouldn't have to be subjected too movement like others".  The fact that any neighborhood is offered guaranteed admission to a sorta, kinda choice school, when those who live a block away aren't is simply absurd.  Again, thanks for affirming the point of the petition, and many of the postings made thereto.  [/quote]
