[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhere between 15-21 % of children in the US are living in poverty. 
I’m not certain if those numbers are stable or not, but it would appear the DC is over burdened.[/quote]

You are not using the same figures.  FARMS eligibility is not the same as "living in poverty."

There are many states poorer than Virginia, and many parts of Virginia with higher FARMS rates that FCPS and APS (which is higher than FCPS).  But I'm guessing poor whites in Lee and Wise County don't push your button like poor Hispanics in Fairfax. [/quote]

Stfu. I made zero mention of race.[/quote]
 
The only thing the DC area is over-burdened with are the number of the nation’s wealthiest jurisdictions. You are a moron.[/quote]

DP.  There are plenty of both extremes in FCPS.  They aren't mutually exclusive.  Eastern Fairfax, for example, is overburdened with FARMS.  That is not an anti-FARMS judgment, it's just a statement of fact.  [/quote]
