[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Arlington School Board proposed to sprinkle the poors equally between north and south, there would literally be a civil war in Arlington County. The families in North would claim they should not be forced to pay for the “poor” decisions of the families in the South. And the families in the South would claim that the families in the North should pay. In a capitalistic society where you have winners and poors, you will always have this dymamic- the wealthy want to stay away from the poors and the poors want to stay away from the other poors and latch onto the resources of the wealthy.

If there was equity, there would not be "poor" decisions. We all pay taxes, we're all entitled to equal education. [/quote]

Eliminate choice schools and you'll get it.[/quote]
Dp- you will Get familes moving and going private. You need to do some math. That will clear your  crazy ideas up.[/quote]

The only crazy idea is that the entire country should gyrate to fix a SA UMC problem that can be entirely solved by SA UMC people.[/quote]

I know you think that as true but the math does t work. If every child in Douglas park went to Randolph the farms rate would still be above 60. 
Barcroft apartments is as big as Lyon village. It's just thousands and thousand of apartments and it's full of families with four children and no money. the county is building more units there and has forbidden redevelopment there and elsewhere along the pike has blocked the construction of town homes, which is what passes for middle class dwellings nowadays. These Apts turn over monthly. Always more kids. SFH are slow, generational turnover. 2 kids per school per decade. It's just too out of whack. There's just no way to balance it out.[/quote]
