[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all have ZERO perspective it’s incredible. Try an actually had school district like the one I grew up in in Georgia. You’d be crying for your highly funded nova district. You’re such losers. Seriously. Get a grip. [/quote]

Can you share? I’m honestly struggling with my disappointment in APS. I grew up in a suburb outside NYC and there didn’t seem to be the same strife as there is here. Granted, I grew up before social media. The colleges that kids go to from APS are always so unimpressive. And they seem to be cutting back on very good programs like spanish enrichment in elementary. Also teachers are not paid as well as they were in my hometown. So as someone that was raised in a truly great public school district, I feel there’s a lot to be desired here. I have friends from growing up raising their kids in my hometown and they all are VERY happy and say quality is still great. What gives?[/quote]

+1 I'm from New Canaan and the schools here seem like a disaster in comparison. [/quote]

And New Canaan schools are a disaster when it comes to equity and serving low income students, because very few live in New Canaan (I grew up in Westport). You can't compare New Canaan, Westport or Scarsdale schools to Arlington or Fairfax -those are big districts. If you want something like New Canaan, move to Falls Church City.[/quote]

NP, also from Fairfield County. Honestly, I don't care. I want my child to have the best education possible. Equity is just a buzzword people around here use when they want to hold people back so others don't look/feel inferior. Hard pass. [/quote]
