[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The previous post was sarcasm. Of course your child should be receiving a great education. Of course you should speak up against over crowding. You shouldn't have to move, you've invested into a community. You should benefit from it. The only thing horrible here is that you are being pressured to consider moving.[/quote]

Here's the thing.  We were in a similar position with similar HHI as the poster you're responding to.  When you go over to the real estate and finance forums you've got people scratching their heads over why people with that level of income take on big mortgages to live in good school districts.  And this is why.  The poster says she's priced out of N Arl, but she's probably not.  She just doesn't feel comfortable borrowing so much to buy a house.  But it's the reality around here.  I agree it's a shame people feel they have to leave a great community because the schools don't meet their standards, but seriously - we're all facing this.  It happens in DC.  It happens in parts of montgomery county, and it happens in arlington.  It sucks and life is not fair, but in the short term it is what it is.

Signed, someone who reluctantly left  a great community because the school board didn't care that our school was a mess.[/quote]
