I wrote the post about the different reasons a south Arlington child would benefit from being placed at ATS. I don't know about deep shame, but they should at least take a moment to [b]recognize that their privledged child has taken the place of child who has little resources and options[/b]. Even if all Arlington schools are good, we know there is a difference. That's why there is such extreme over crowding in certain zipcodes. Your child will not suffer from being taught in a trailer, or switching elementary school buildings at some point.[b] A disadvantaged child will suffer from not being exposed to a strong peer group.[/b] Plenty of research supports that. Certainly, not all of ATS can or should be poor. It needs a blend, but[b] if an affluent parent is considering the program, it should really be about what their family could bring to that program, not the other way around[/b].[/quote]

Does this include affluent parents in south Arlington?

Someone needs to provide the "strong peer group."  And that strong peer group is a necessary part of the equation, so who is taking what from whom?[/quote]
