I guess all the housewives in Springfield are busy making Salisbury steak and canned corn for their GS 9 husbands.

You lost this debate well before 6 PM.

If I'd lost this debate, I'd be living in a 40 year old POS Pulte tract home in Springfield, and sending my kids to a school filled with illegal aliens that stab and chop each other to death, because my husband was a loser with a 65k a year Fed admin job!

Wow this is a disturbingly specific mental image of who you have weirdly strong contempt for.

We are a wealthy town, and have shelled out 100's of thousands of tax money to ACPS over the decades (recently it's been even more).

Please can we have a discussion about the school system and not about Springfield, Lake Braddock, bicycles, etc. It makes me think the school board members are on here intentionally derailing the thread.

Burke and West Springfield are just two of the places where Alexandria residents move when they realize how bad ACPS is.
