[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad this post has everything

1) racism

2) the notion that if you care about education you will live in the best school districts regardless of whether you can afford those school district or not. Better for your kid to live in a box and starve and go to Langley than a house and go to Wakefield.

3) the vast majority of posters being those who do not have kids in Wakefield and therefore have no idea what the school is really like

4) the idea that quality of education/teachers can really be measured by achievement scores and college rates instead of acknowledging that it only truly measures the socio economic and racial makeup of the school.

5) posters who think that only people who go to the best of the best schools are of value.

I am sure I missed something.

You missed:

1) If someone from South Arlington is a super athlete or ultra smart, they get to go to Sidwell or Potomac for FREE.  That's even better than Langley,

2) Quote from Jerry Seinfeld show:  Jerry responds to Elaine comment that it's "racist" Jerry said he likes Asian women "If I like their race, how can that be racist?"  People in the Langley doen't care about race.  It's all about high achievers.  If racism is an issue, there wouldn't be many Asians in Langley, right?[/quote]

Asians don't like other minorities either.  [/quote]
