[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Move to the mid-west.   Schools will remain open, a quality public education is available and although competition will still exists, 1st grade tutors are not the norm. [/quote]

OP here, husband and I grew up in the Midwest (lower income fair amount of URM suburb in Chicago), so if we could move back we would but husbands business is tied here. Similar to prior poster we went from big fish in small pond to small fish in big pond in college and I do feel I benefited academically from it compared to peers in grad school. But then again I have terrible anxiety in adulthood so maybe not. Also feel that experience completely ill prepared me to be a parent in this UMC educated environment. Does anyone have experiences with south arlington? Would it be dumb to move kids to a less performing school just to avoid the type A families?[/quote]

No actually I don't think it's dumb to move to a lower performing school if your top priority is to avoid the type A families. However I would do your research and know what you're getting in to. Those schools have other problems. [/quote]

What are the other problems???[/quote]
