[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing especially “holistic” or “laid back” about relying on geographic segregation to produce classrooms where most of the minority and low-income kids are concentrated in certain schools.

Amen
Arlington has never needed GS as an excuse. The last boundary shift for high schools made that crystal clear. That was well before GS changed it’s methodology. Yorktown is richer and whiter as a result- no surprise.  Now people’s choices aren’t hidden behind the score. I don’t see that as a bad thing.

Isn't that also why parents choose to send their kids to choice schools? Or even just pick up and move to another school zone? [/quote]

Yes, when it becomes evident that the county will not engage in best practices, [b]most parents make other arrangements.[/b]
Of course now the poor decision making is starting to effect everyone.
Everyone can enjoy shifts and online learning.
Hooray  :? [/quote]

So you are choosing your schools in the same ways as all of the other parents. Got it.

Yes you do got it
You got ...
overcrowded schools
Concentrated poverty
Affluenza
Shift schedules 
Online learning
Proposed Incomplete/unequal high schools

You sure do “got it”

DP. Your free association whining isn't convincing anyone. If you want to have a substantive discussion, do so.[/quote]

It possible if you aren’t clear on best educational practices, or the recent history re: APS high school boundaries.[/quote]

What are “best educational practices”?
