[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the people moving or choosing private are weak. I didn't word that well. Parents should make the best choices for their kids- without a doubt. 
I think shrugging and saying that's how it's going to be and not speaking up isn't the right path personally. 
Fwiw- right now- this isn't really about money for the county. I honestly think that is why the CB is so unwilling to be honest about the problems they are creating. We are at almost 20,000 a head in this little county. I think the feeling is, "'we throw so much money at education, we don't don't need to worry about housing policy" .
You are right it's very hard to take a politician seriously who won't acknowledge reality about this.
Pp is right about wanting to spend more Time with their kids and not at civic meets etc... I totally understand that. Of course with the most recent study about DC having the nation's worst traffic and metro being kinda of a mess- I'm able to spend much more time with my family by living in south Arlington than say Springfield.
Also worth noting that people are getting worked up because this isn't a done deal. Better to speak up before than after the damage is done.
My guess of what will come of all of this? 
Choice school options will increase at the elementary level for these neighborhoods. These neighborhood schools were always underperforming, it's just that now parents actually have to consider sending their child there. Give them another option again and this all goes away for the board.
