[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I hear people say that Arlington and MoCo are declining, what I really hear is "a public good is now being consumed by members of the public who aren't as rich and privileged as I would like." Public education is a public good. You don't get to keep the people who need it the most out. Private schools were designed for people just like you. [/quote] Exactly, the county is more or less the same or even better today but demographics are very different than 20 years ago which presents a different set of challenges. Nevertheless, the same kid can do just as well today as twenty years ago. There are many wonderful opportunities available for anyone who is interested so this whole sky is falling narrative is trash.[/quote] It's a fiction that some people like to tell themselves to justify their preferences because they're ignoring the larger societal changes that have impacted most places today.[/quote]
