[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ you brought up busing. Please research and link if you are interested. [/quote]

Ok. If not busing, then what are these “best practices” you want that the county won’t do? [/quote]

Were you not around for the last boundary redraw? I think you can find a thread or two here.[/quote]

You’ve made some bold accusations. Are you able to back them up or not?

[/quote]

Not PP, but are you saying it's "bold" to say that concentrated poverty may have a deleterious effect on educational outcomes? [/quote]

No.

Bold comments: 
#1
“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. 
“We chose the north Arlington schools because of their excellent rating” 
... uh... no you didn’t, and now it’s obvious to all...”

#2
“Yes, when it becomes evident that the county will not engage in best practices, most parents make other arrangements. ”

Is PP able to back these comments up? Or I suspect she is just FOS.

Hardly bold[/quote]

Calling everyone who chose to live in North Arlington a racist? 
Saying the county is promoting segregation?

What else would you call it? 
[/quote]
Doesn’t say anything about racism. [/quote]
