[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, to summarize, it’s okay for SA families to go to option schools so long as they are honest about the reason—they don’t want to go to high poverty schools [/quote]

And I’m okay with that so long as NA families are honest that they bought into their neighborhood schools and it has nothing to do with walkability [/quote]

Parents are rational actors and will act in the best interest of their children.

I'm a North Arlington parent. Of course I bought here with schools as a big factor. Along with other things, like commute, neighborhood, etc. I didn't really understand what "good schools" meant back in that day. I will say after experiencing the North Arlington neighborhood school, that I would prefer to have my kids in a more diverse school. My kids later had the opportunity to go to a choice school that is more diverse than our neighborhood school. We chose it for many reasons (too personal to post). It was not explicitly for more diversity, but that has been a wonderful plus to the option school. [/quote]
