[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the politicians supposed to do? I mean, really? Elementary schools in south Arlington have, until very recently, been way less crowded than north Arlington schools and had smaller class sizes because they haven't all been at the max, but their scores are lower. The traditional program at Drew has 14 kids in a class and the lowest SOL scores in the county. They have additional staff through Title I. APS added preschool 10 years ago and continues to fund it despite the overcrowding issues. They have very low teacher ratios for kids learning English, which is a lot of the kids in several schools. Given the underlying demographics, [b]what do people want the county to do to make the schools better? [/b](I get that not adding more affordable housing in areas that already have a lot of it will help keep the problems from getting worse, but doesn't solve the problems with the status quo.)
