[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:28. All of my friends live in well to do areas of the country that are experiencing growth, however the growth is more manageable. Incorporated towns do not have to deal with the magnatude of growth that Fairfax County has to deal with. Pluses and minus to both large and small school districts exist, however I think the small districts do better on the overcrowding issues.[/quote] Really? All of your friends live in well-to-do areas? You must travel in refined circles. Small, rich towns often have very good schools. Small, poor towns get the shaft. We have county-wide systems here that fall somewhere in the middle, in terms of their ability to respond to enrollment growrth. Locally, Arlington has many of the same challenges as Fairfax; in fact, Arlington will have to come to terms in the future with the fact that it has a growing number of students, but apparently rebuilt two of its three high schools (Yorktown and W-L) to accommodate fewer students than the older buildings that were replaced. Even with that, however, the challenges in Arlington and Fairfax would still be the envy of many communities. [/quote]
