[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need efficiency and relief of overcrowding. [b]I can't deal with the people who whine that "my kids won't be able to go to school with all the same kids from their previous school" [/b]- if you pull your kids and go to private, they still won't know anyone. And even in the maps where they break up schools, there will be some kids that travel together.  [b]That's not a factor that's worth tying maps up in knots. [/b] If you look at the alignment map, you have kids not able to go to the school across the street from their house -- kind of like the stupidity of Science Focus' boundary now. [/quote]

Except for one in MS, my kids are in college now. We live in a Taylor planning unit but they went to Science Focus (as the PP noted re stupidity of some boundaries, we live two blocks from Science Focus).  After Science Focus they went to Swanson and then W-L.  At every stage of their schooling they continued with a few friends while others went to different middle schools and high schools, including a few privates.  Along the way my kids met classmates they had known from sports, from church, from summer camps, from scouts, etc. By the time they were in HS they had friends all over Arlington.  Alignment really is not that important in a county the size of Arlington.
