Nothing like putting your kids first....[/quote]

:roll:  - give me a break. The schools are still great.

And to the poster who said 'most people move to Arlington because there are choice schools'. I don't believe that is a very high percentage. I moved to Arlington because, at the time, the infrastructure was really great. Arlington takes care of all of its people pretty well. Plus, it's a smaller county. FFX is HUGE and Loudoun is still experiencing growing pains. If Arl folks are worried about rezoning, check out the frequency they rezone in Loudoun. Count your lucky stars you live in Arlington.

In a nutshell, that's why there's such a crisis brewing in Arlington.  People pat themselves on the back constantly, and don't deal with the problems. [/quote]

That is a warped view of the word "crisis"

"OMG don't make me live in my million dollar home giving my kid a better education than 95% of this country (even in S. Arlington)" CRISIS! They might have to go to a school with a lot of kids or ride on a bus for 20 minutes. Or maybe go to school with some kids that have no interest in college. CRISIS! [/quote]

We have a wave of students equal to a full high school coming, and we are ignoring it. It's a crisis.[/quote]

Yes - we are getting to a point where we cannot support the students we have. We finally got a good plan for middle school and will have relief by 2019. High school needs to be addressed next. Our high schools were not built to hold 3000-4000 students.

People who say it is not a crisis have kids in high school now or have kids who are no longer in school. [/quote]
