[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It' funny how OP dropped in that she raised her kids (or he raised his kids, who knows) in North Arlington. I don't really see the difference between Arlington County and Fairfax County - you have the same issues with crowded neighborhoods, terrible/no sidewalks, and sitting on top of the highway/busy roads. Add to that the schools are in decline (most of my friends in Arlington have switched to private), I can't see why s/he's complaining about just Fairfax, LOL![/quote]

The schools aren’t “declining” except in the minds of crazy suburban women.  And if they ARE declining, they’re declining across the board - including Fairfax.  The school rankings as currently reflected in Niche, US news etc are no different now than they were 10, 20, even 30 years ago.  [/quote]

OMG, I just can't with people who go on and on about U.S. News/Niche/Great School rankings. Just stop, those things are such BS. I trust my friends' experiences much more than some random magazine/website.[/quote]

Lol did you friend have a Time Machine?  Because they couldn’t have first hand knowledge of then versus now without one.  [/quote]

You mean my friends who have elementary and middle school aged children who live in Arlington, many of whom have switched their children to private in the past year or two?[/quote]

Right.  Them.  They can’t speak to how the schools were 10, 20 or 30 years ago.  Just as I said. [/quote]
