[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps I'm beating a dead horse here (although I am an NP), but why shouldn't South Arlington parents get to complain about their weaker (vis a vis North Arlington) schools just because they chose to buy south of Route 50 in order to make their house budget stretch further?  I absolutely grant you that they made a trade off when buying their home (and schools would inevitably have been part of the equation), so they should not be surprised about the school disparity.  But once they have bought homes in South Arlington, they have every right to make a fuss about the schools and advocate in any way they can to improve the quality of the schools.  This is precisely how areas gentrify.  You should always understand the status quo, but you don't have to accept it.  You can work to change it.

On another note, I do agree with PPs who are frustrated with the School Board and County Board members who don't seem willing to engage in a thoughtful - and granted, a difficult - discussion about the future of the whole County's schools.  [/quote]
