[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS is failing other parents' non-gifted kids, too. You're not special.[/quote]

APS only job is to get kids to pass the SOLs. Period. [/quote]

Agreed.

I don’t believe it’s the goals of individual teachers, although this is true for some.  Nor do I believe it’s important to most families.  But it is the driving force behind APS administration.

I am shocked now by how many people pull their child for privates.  While I acknowledge there are economic changes in Arlington allowing this, it’s also a reflection of how so many families feel about our public schools. [/quote]

In your Yorktown zoned street, every child goes to private school.  [/quote]

On our W-L street with $$$ homes, only 3 out of 13 kids go to private.

“Only”?!?   About 1/4 of the kids leave APS and you don’t think that is significant?   I disagree.

On my Yorktown block, it’s currently 8/14 in private but the trend is private as they age so all 8 are HSers.

I know people say good riddance and all but it’s a dramatic shift over the last two decades, accelerated by Covid I am sure.
