[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhere between 15-21 % of children in the US are living in poverty. 
I’m not certain if those numbers are stable or not, but it would appear the DC is over burdened.[/quote]

You are not using the same figures.  FARMS eligibility is not the same as "living in poverty."

There are many states poorer than Virginia, and many parts of Virginia with higher FARMS rates that FCPS and APS (which is higher than FCPS).  But I'm guessing poor whites in Lee and Wise County don't push your button like poor Hispanics in Fairfax. [/quote]

Stfu. I made zero mention of race.[/quote]
 
The only thing the DC area is over-burdened with are the number of the nation’s wealthiest jurisdictions. You are a moron.[/quote]
Try not to be an idiot. 
You can have both extreme wealth and poverty. But please do go one about your outstanding school
Pyramid. Liberal hypocrisy never gets old for me.

I am so tired of this canard. And I am beiginning to think liberal is code for able to break out of black and white thinking.  And able to hold as many as two thoughts in your head at the same time.

I’m liberal, and I realize the world has changed since I was in high school. And I have to prepare my kids to compete academically in a global sense, not just be good for the small town they grew up in as was the case when I grew up.  I can feel that I owe it to my kids to give them the best education possible.   Which in FCPS means a low FARMs school. While at the same time being willing to pay more taxes and be involved in the schools to teyand make sure every other kid has a great school too.  I will always look out for my kids best interests. But I will try—- and pay— for other kids to have great public schools too.

Vs conservatives, who will put their kids in the best school they can afford, and then whine about having to pay more to try to bring low performing schools up.

We all love oir kids. And being liberal does not mean sacrificing their education— to what?  Put one more rich white kid in Justice who will be in classes with other affluent white and Asian kids?  [/quote]
