ReplyThe 6th grade academy will require multiple transitions and feed into a mega middle school - but hey all of our children will suffer through it together. So sorry for your no-win situation. I really feel for you, but not quite as much as I feel for the children who are going to be in larger classes thanks to your vote.

ReplyMr. Bromery should know that the 120 number came from an APSupdate twitter exchange after the proposal was posted. The person responsible for twitter updates was the only one who seemed to be available from the system over the holiday break.

First, you are right, Sutton IS already big and I think there are plenty of people (myself included) who do care about that. If I had to make the decision about my student today, I would not choose Sutton BECAUSE of its size. Also, Smith and Jackson parents aren't trying to take over Sutton. We simply aren't lying down and accepting what another set of parents has decided is best for everyone.

If APS can find time for two week-long breaks in the fall semester (an utter nightmare for families with working parents, by the way), then surely they can use ONE of those weeks to produce an August 12 start. The proposed schedule (and earlier start time for elementary students) is going to create lots of complications for working parents.
