[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did y'all see the teacher's post on AEM accusing Arlington parents of being unethical for putting their kids in choice schools to avoid race/poverty?

Wow, just wow. Are there others who didn't feel comfortable speaking up on there but have some thoughts?

I wouldn't say unethical but I would say hypocritical.

It particularly drives me nuts when liberals do this song and dance about how the school is just the best fit or it's a neighborhood school, or whatever nonsense they spew. Just be honest - you are not going to expose your kids to the behavior issues and poor academics in a high FARMS rate school. This is in no way shocking and this whole discussion has played out here on DCUM several years ago bc some guy in MD wrote a book about how he thought he was all woke and progressive until it came time to send their child to school. Spoiler alert: he didn't pick the neighborhood high FARMS rate school.

Remove option schools and parents will choose private school or move for better public schools. It will not change anything about the demographics of poor performing schools.[/quote]
