[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On another active thread people were complaining that due to overcrowding, there is too much competition for slots in band, sports teams, etc. at W-L and Yorktown. This is another reason why better balancing the SES mix across schools is a good idea--there could be a critical mass at each school of kids who are interested in these sorts of resume-building activities to be able to field competitive teams or robust performing groups, and you wouldn't be forcing every UMC kid in Arlington to compete for the same slots in the same school. Getting the three comprehensive schools to better match the demographics of APS through choice/busing support/boundaries should be a win-win [u]for the kids[/u], if the parents would ever get over themselves.

This is a really good point.[/quote]

Once again, I know better what is good for others' kids than do their parents.  This certainly sounds like a winning argument to me. :roll: [/quote]

Then pardon me when I won't support [b]your demands for a fourth comprehensive high school. [/b]Because "I'd rather the community bond $150 million for the next 30 years instead of redraw the boundaries a little to the south" is [i]definitely[/i] not a winning argument. [/quote]

Oh, didn't you hear? They dropped that hot potato as soon as it was pointed out that their kids might have to attend this new HS to be built south of rt. 50. [/quote]

What are you talking about? The plans for a 4th comprehensive high school at Kenmore were nixed by Glencarlyn residents who complained about traffic on Carlin Springs. It was killed by the Kenmore neighborhood, not N Arlington.[/quote]
