[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm the PP. In a county as geographically tiny as Arlington having children go to a school 3-4 miles from home instead of 1 mile won't really adversely affect anyone. If all schools in the county had a FARMS rate of around 15-20% (likely to be achieved by evenly spreading FARMS students across schools) I bet the overall school system would be vastly improved and the ridiculous north-south educational divide would be finally eliminated. I say this as a N Arlington parent. Missing this basic reform I think grossly undermines half the county schools, and no amount of $$ will fix the problem. [/quote] I taught in such a school system that tried this --it was called busing. It didn't work.[/quote]
