[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can ALWAYS tell , where they don't have their own children in these programs. It's ALWAYS easier to cut something that, doesn't AFFECT your Own child.[/quote]

Of course we all react when thing affect our own children.  People should be more capable of realizing things may be disappointing for themselves and their children, and also make sense in the bigger picture or be something that needs to happen for the greater good.  This chip is missing in many an Arlington parent however and what leads to such horrible and toxic school boundary arguments.

In any case, I really do hope the outcome of this is Arlington requires parents of kid on any kind of competitive, non-recreational team being run out of the County to pay full cost.  And they should be transparent to everyone what that full cost is.[/quote]

Competitive parents are happy to pay for 100%  cost recovery although we have no idea what that looks like as we havent been provided the data yet.

For what it is worst we have offered to purchase equipment and have been rejected by the county. We do pay for coach training, clinics, clothing, uniforms, etc. [/quote]

We'll see if you are happy about it when you see the cost.  [/quote]
