[quote=Anonymous]As unpopular as this sounds. If I could not afford to put my kids in a high performing public school, I would move a little further west and send them to a suburban school district rather than live close into DC. I lived in south Arlington as a grad student, single professional and newly married/childless couple, but I would never consider living there with school aged kids. I've voted for CB candidates who I thought would support schools over AF housing, and guess what they lost. I wrote my SB reps and attended school board meetings, signed petitions, etc. and none of it mattered. If anything I watched in horror as Barbara Kanninen (however you spell her name) decided at the 2nd to last voting meeting for moving 200 or less HS students from WL to Wakefield and Yorktown, that one of the options was unpalatable b/c it meant having trailers for 1 year (versus 3 years at WL with ongoing construction of the Ed Center), and somehow her decision was approved unanimously at the final meeting (a new option that had never been introduced before the final meeting). Seeing all this sh*t go down, I wouldn't trust all the sheeple who vote down the board Democrat which means they kiss the asses of the AF lobby. Don't trust that these elected officials will do what's right for SA. [/quote]
