I think pp was trying to make a flailing defense of FCPS and inadvertently proved the point that AAP is the only thing that matters in FCPS, everyone else’s experiences are irrelevant. |

Look, I am also a south Arlington parent. The new methodology further promotes economic segregation. It's garbage, and it's going to damage real children as it further incentivizes boundaries that reinforce residential segregation. Do I believe they mean anything as relates to actual education or teacher quality or anything? No, certainly not, and I never have. But they are problematic anyway. |

| There is nothing especially “holistic” or “laid back” about relying on geographic segregation to produce classrooms where most of the minority and low-income kids are concentrated in certain schools. |

No one has to defend FCPS here. This thread exists because of APS’s mismanagement, not FCPS’s. |

Amen Arlington has never needed GS as an excuse. The last boundary shift for high schools made that crystal clear. That was well before GS changed it’s methodology. Yorktown is richer and whiter as a result- no surprise. Now people’s choices aren’t hidden behind the score. I don’t see that as a bad thing. “We chose the north Arlington schools because of their excellent rating” ... uh... no you didn’t, and now it’s obvious to all... |

What should have been done differently in the last high school boundary redrawing? And don't say busing, APS can't afford it. |

Isn't that also why parents choose to send their kids to choice schools? Or even just pick up and move to another school zone? |

Yes, when it becomes evident that the county will not engage in best practices, most parents make other arrangements. Of course now the poor decision making is starting to effect everyone. Everyone can enjoy shifts and online learning. Hooray

So you are choosing your schools in the same ways as all of the other parents. Got it. |

DP. Your free association whining isn't convincing anyone. If you want to have a substantive discussion, do so. |
