[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an immigrant, I could never understand why there was such a disparity in education quality across the U.S. I couldn't understand why poor black areas had such worse schools compared to more affluent (and usually white) areas. But this thread has been an eye-opener. I understand this much better now. It seems the more affluent folks want their money to benefit only them and their families. They don't see the benefit to society of elevating everyone and giving a good education to all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Don't people want the US to succeed long-term? How does keeping poor people less educated benefit a country in the long-run? [/quote]

I am an immigrant as well and I live in McLean. Nobody here opposes other schools benefiting from a healthy tax base, what we have accepted is that “others” will be benefited at our expense while our kids sit in trailers. No, thanks![/quote]
I am PP and I also live in the McLean HS district. I know my kids will likely have to be in trailers but I know it is a temporary situation. Look at Langley HS and its beautiful renovation...McLean HS will get its turn. [/quote]

.McLean HS will get its turn, not until all the poor schools get their first cause of EQUITY[/quote]

Compared to Langley, McLean is the poor school.  So I guess you're incorrect.[/quote]
