[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That must be the most poorly worded petition I've ever seen. Arlington County doesn't "must" have to do anything. A petition ASKS. It doesn't TELL.

Typical of certain Arlingtonians. Wow.[/quote]

I do not even get why they are trying to throw this is so late in the game.  I agree wholeheartedly with the posts that came before me--these people have no idea what they are asking for.  They also appear to have hate/animosity towards one neighborhood.  The few clueless ones that signed it because that thought they were protecting their spots at Taylor have no idea that what they were signing was asking for those in Key boundary to essentially have no school.  Try telling that to people that paid a lot of frickin' money for a particular school.

The people I have met that are the most steamed up about this issue are the people that purchased a home outside of boundary for a specific school assuming they could just lottery into the one they wanted later.  That assumption was a giant mistake.  You always keep abreast of school zoning issues when purchasing and you should only buy into a school district you are satisfied with.  I have seen the same mistake with DC residents that figure they will just go to X Charter school and then are astounded when their kid becomes school age and realize it is not an option.

I get the people living next door to one school and being zoned to one farther away.  I also would not like that, but again you knew that when you bought your house.[/quote]
