[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a taxpayer and voter in APS. I'm so fed up. I'd accept any charter school in the county. I'd be in favor of vouchers. I'd say county is incompetent and it's big plan regarding overcapacity is to do nothing. So I say let's come up with changes that don't involve APS and get something done in the county that solves the crisis.

Arlington has the best school system in the state, many different curriculums all within the public school system, and it has lower real estate taxes than other districts nearby. I am not sure what you think charters would do better in Arlington. The only problem Arlington has is that[b] it's concentrated its poverty into one area.[/quote][/b]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the PP lives in one of those zones and is looking for a way to get out (through a charter or voucher). No. Fight segregation. Charters and /or vouchers will only make it worse. [/quote]

Wishful Thinking PP

PPP will prob either move or go private which I actually support because they will either have to pay $ to attend a better school or pay more $ for a house like the rest of us who want a better school feeder

Charters are basically private/magnet schools that people can attend for free and cheat the system

Charters do have a purpose though.  Ward 7 and 8 in DC are the best example.  Areas that have terrible schools and people should have another choice to attend a better school like a KIPP.  Difference being they can't afford to pay for a private or move to a better area otherwise[/quote]
