[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I will disagree with you on resources. I send my kid to one of the maligned title I schools and we do not have nearly the resources my friends' kids have in their wealthy north arlington schools. The school grounds are not as well maintained. Fewer after school activities. Most of the parents are from a different culture, and while they are nice, they are not into play dates for their kids. We have kids at school who lack warm clothes and live a very different lifestyle from an UMC kid. There are huge cultural and language barriers that pervade everything at the school despite the excellent teachers and extra Title I money. My kid's experience is very different from many other schools and different from our former school.

You ask, why do I send my kid there? Because his dad left us and took everything and all I could afford is an apartment on the Pike. As soon as we can, as I save money with a new job in this area, we are out of this school. His elementary school experience is not the same as other schools, not by a long shot.[/quote]
