[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why anyone would be up in arms about their child going to Glebe. As far as we are concerned it is a hidden gem and has typically smaller classes 18 last year in k and 20 this year in First. Teachers are great and energetic and the building is brand new.  It got the 2011 board of education excellence award. So what if all the kids are not white.[/quote]

I am the poster at 14:34 -- my point was (is!) there are people all over N Arlington who picked their house/school using some calculus to determine which one(s) were/are perceived to be the BEST and that anything less will not do. My kids go to Barrett, and I personally think bright kids can get a good education at [b]any [/b]of the Arlington public schools, but I'm sure there are plenty of parents who probably think I'm jeopardizing my kids' education by letting them go to a FARMS school when I could've bought a house in Jamestown/Nottingham/Taylor/Tuckahoe/McKinley school district instead.

I think the county should have redistricted years ago so people would just get over it. Now I think they're playing catch-up and by the time they ARE caught up, all our kids will be in college.[/quote]
