[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are east of Glebe and rejoined from Fleet to Drew. Almost the entire neighborhood goes private.  3/4 kids in poverty and a large percent below grade level. No thanks. And spare me the you saved money by buying near Columbia Pike so you are condemned to failing schools and overwhelming AH. Spare me your all are welcome signs from North Arlington. Langston should mirror CP. [/quote]

Sorry county is full. Get your neighbors to go to the school and FARMs will drop. [/quote]

This response is why it’s unacceptable to force boundary changes that don’t involve upper north schools. This attitude of “sucks to be the rest of you who aren’t as wealthy as we are. Thanks for taking the hit so we can all feel better.”[/quote]

Yep.  NIMBY-ism at its finest.[/quote]

What type of boundary changes do you want? If you want to significantly change #s it will require significant bussing.

That comment has been made and responded to multiple times in this thread.
The NIMBY comment was in response to the previous post - read it.  Langston Blvd should mirror CP.  PP's comment about taking the hit so the rest can fell better reflects the south taking all the density and majority of affordably housing, no room for more including in the north, so thanks![/quote]

I fully support balancing AH across the county. I support missing middle.

Until then, what should we do? You want extensive bussing? Because that’s the only option to balance it out at the school level now.

So you want to F all the future high school students? [/quote]

You want to send Kindergartners on 45 min bus rides each way? 
[/quote]

Many people "choose" to do this...and luck out on the opportunity to do that.[/quote]
