[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is plenty of SAT test prep in North Arlington.  [/quote]

[b]You don't live in N. Arlington, do you? Until very recent times, it was a working class neighborhood.[/b] Our next door neighbor was a taxi driver. A police officer lived a few doors down. We bought our 1959 home from the original owners, who were not college grads. Most of our neighbors a dozen years ago were elderly and none of them educated. It's changed in the last decade. A lot of older homes have been razed and new homes built. A lot of these working class folks are still around. Of course, some of the people who bought those new homes are having their kids take the prep classes but I think their kids are somewhat younger and just now reaching middle school age. That's why the elementary and middle schools are overcrowded. The high schools are just about to reach over-capacity in the next few years. It's really not that hard to believe that the original Arlingtonians did not pay for their kids to take the prep classes. [/quote]

Not any more.  :lol:

But we lived there long enough to know people don't refer to North Arlington as a single neighborhood, much less a "working class neighborhood."
