[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These poor scores are stunning. You would expect that poors would have FEWER kids than non-poors, but the opposite is true. And how is it even possible to be poor — on a long term basis — in the Northern Virginia with all the jobs? Our non-English speaking nanny and her non-English speaking husband have been in this country for all of 3 years and make over $150k between the two of them. As long as CB and SB continue to legitimize and incentivize poors and the poor lifestyle, the schools will continue to deteriorate. In 5 years if things keep going the way they are, this forrest fire that is devastating the schools in the south will jump Route 50 to schools in NA and in a decade the entire public school system will be ablaze, north and south.

This a joke right? I mean, I’m as irritated with Arlington’s housing and school policies as the next south arlignton homeowner, but I’m not just making crap up to besmirch poor people. Get educated.[/quote]

Why don’t you point to something you disagree with? The poor numbers, eg, 60-70, 80% sound about right to you? Its reasonable to you that this portion of kids in these south arlington schools have parents that don't make $40k a year or whatever it is not to be poor? Does that say anything about those parents- the types of decisions they make? The county wants to build more Barcroft 1300 unit low income apartments so more destitute can come here and have kids to flood the school systems. Any semi-literate, able-bodied person can make $40k a year by working full time. How do you think this story ends? How many more Barcrofts? 3, 5, 10 before it starts to bleed over route 50?
