[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For other readers that prioritize demographics (better distribution of FARM students), what do you think about 1F vs 1H?

[b]H[/b] decreases Kenmore to 45%, but leaves Williamsburg with only 4%, while [b]F[/b] increases Kenmore to 53%, but keeps Williamsburg and the new school at over 10%. Is it more important to keep all schools below 50%, or is it better to make sure there is at least a small percentage at each school? I'm drawn to 1H, but worry that Williamsburg will become disconnected from the rest of the country by having such a minuscule percentage. Which of these is a better first step? Does anyone see ways to improve 1F to get Kenmore below 50? (without just shifting to Jefferson)[/quote]

Not looking for a pound of flesh. 
As a south Arlington parent I would love to see the diversity map that sliced vertically but I’m not naive. 
Schools at 50% are unacceptable. 
I really don’t want to hear people whining about their walk zones. 
Schools at 50% poverty are unacceptable.

Who are you to decide that 50% poverty schools are unacceptable?  Poverty is concentrated in undesirable areas with lower rents -- a problem that Arlington itself created.  Too bad, so sad.  It's like saying kids in NW DC should be bused to SE public schools to balance things out.  [/quote]

I hope you get hit in the head with a brick today. Maybe it will knock some sense into you.[/quote]
