[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HB is an incredible program and a great size.  Just because your kids didn't get in don't mess it up for those that are thriving here.[/quote]

So my kid and many many others get to survive but not thrive in a massively overcrowded MS and a massively overcrowded HS so that relatively speaking a few kids can thrive by attending the equivalent of private school without paying tuition just because they got lucky? Because that’s exactly what is going on.

So give me an idea of what it is like at an overcrowded MS/HS.  APS, the School Board and many parents have no issue with being over 100%.  My children are younger so we haven't had to deal with this yet.  Are we talking standing room only in the cafeteria and classrooms?  Impossible to get into classes/sports/clubs?  I don't have any perspective on what the real impact is because many people (APS/SB/Parents) seem to have no issues with it.[/quote]
