[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The segregationists are always championing walkability, and strong communities. They are never going to admit we could do a county wide system. They paid too much money for an almost all wealthy school.[/quote] I live within walking distance of W-L, and I'm happy my teens can walk to school. That said, if APS went to a county-wide system tomorrow, I'd say, great! Arlington is definitely small enough, and my kids wouldn't spend any more time on a bus then I did when I was there age (in a rural area). And of course, there'd be at least a 33% chance they'd end up at W-L anyway. So, fine with me. :-)[/quote] A county-wide system defeats one of the great advantages of public schools: going to school with kids in your neighborhood or at least 5-10 minutes away. No need to balance the three high schools -- let them each retain their own identity. [/quote] ^^segregationist[/quote]
