[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MONA and everyone with a BLM or ALM sign ought to be calling it out.

Wishful thinking that anyone in Arlington cares at this point.

There shouldn’t be ANY school in Arlington over 40% poverty and/ or ESL.[/quote]

Isn't concentrating wraparound services best for the students?  Wouldn't the Carlin Springs model be best for Drew?[/quote]

The point of school isn’t to provide wraparound services.  The point of school is to educate the children.  All of the studies show that concentrating poverty isn’t best for education.  So we should be doing what’s best from an educational standpoint and then figuring  out the wraparound services.  [b]Those services shouldn’t be the driving factor in boundaries[/b] (IMHO).[/quote]

THIS +1000!  
Haven't heard it phrased that way before - so simple, straightforward, and spot on. They shouldn't be the driving factor in boundaries and they shouldn't be the driving factor in education.[/quote]

The wraparound services should be at the residences, at least the ones that take county $$. And yeah, those services are essential so as not to impede education, but they should be provided regardless of % of students eligible for fr/l, at every school, even if there’s just one student, that student needs those services, too. Concentrating poverty in neighborhoods and schools leads to lower socioeconomic mobility and lesser outcomes. Students’ potential is hampered by the model APS has adopted, because they are NOT given the same educational opportunities and experiences. [/quote]
