[quote=Anonymous]I think there is an assumption by some that schools in S. Arlington (possibly with the exception of Patrick Henry) are bad, and schools in N. Arlington are good. It is not clear what data is being used to support these claims. Similarly- when you look at test scores, etc- are the test scores the result of poor teaching, a poor school, or a difficult home background. Take, e.g. a child who has significant learning disabilities, and a parent who also has those learning disabilities. Say the parent doesn't really see this as a problem, doesn't value homework, doesn't ensure the child gets enough sleep, etc. That child's test scores are going to be poor. The mark of a good school, in my mind, is one that can reach that disadvantaged child, while not allowing that child's deficits to impact other children. I actually think that all Arlington schools do this rather well.[/quote]
