[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ I've lived in South Arlington for 5 years and am plenty critical of APS, but the above is hyperbole and oddly offbase to the point of being trollish. Redistricting at the ES level is addressing overcrowding, by bringing new ES online and, therefore, rezoning to fill the new schools. The HS thing is an issue and has been poorly managed by APS, but odds are that all students will still be attending adequate comprehensive schools that are moderately overcrowded by the time OP's kids are there. The reality is that Arlington schools are still very good, the class sizes are smaller than in Fairfax, and OP's kids will be fine even in a Title I school. Not to mention, shorter commutes let OP spend more time with her kids. [/quote]

There it is again. "Your kids will be fine". Maybe at Oakridge or Fleet. Anywhere else you'll have to spend a lot of time making sure and speaking up when things aren't fine.[/quote]

Not any more time than parents at north Arlington schools do whether they need to or not.[/quote]

A south Arlington parent making sure their kid isn't twiddling their thumbs without peers while the rest of Thebes's class drills on SOLs is not the same thing as north Arlington helicoptering. [/quote]

I love how these comments always assume that NONE of the lower income kids or kids whose parents speak another language could be ahead or  gifted  or invested in school. Really , MO peers?[/quote]
