puhleeze! fat chance[/quote]

Nottingham parent or not, the PP she was responding to doesn't seem to understand South Arlington. Should kids be crossing 50? Maybe, but not just so that Cherrydale can have a walkable school. If moving kids from Rosslyn into Long Branch actually helped South Arlington, they would be supportive. It doesn't, in fact, it would take seats needed for capacity relief at some very overcrowded South Arlington schools. This new school and the resulting shuffling around of the Montessori program and boundaries are all the capacity relief South Arlington is going to get for a very long while (so we've been told). They need to get it right, and there's the added variable of very disparate economic situations at neighboring schools. It's different from most of North Arlington in that regard, and so it's going to be more fraught and more difficult for Staff, and they don't need the added distraction of figuring out the Key/ASFS thing right now.

Should we be thinking of the County as one? Probably. But it rings a bit hollow when this idea of coming together is only brought up in this context. If someone really wants to bridge the divide, they have to come to the table with something that is mutually beneficial. This is not that. [/quote]

AMEN. Standing ovation! +1 million![/quote]
