[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AEM is a ridiculous bubble. 
My family saw the writing on the wall and moved last year, but if we had stayed I’d be raising hell about those Henry PU’s. That area needs to be pushed to Drew. That boundary map is hilarious and predictable. 
Arlington is so predictable.[/quote]

You could actually be more effective having moved.  Tell the SB why you moved.  Tell them it matters![/quote]

I did! I got a lovely reply from Reid Goldstein. It was a very long and thoughtful response.[/quote]
Thank you for doing so.  Reid is the only truly sympathetic ear on this issue.[/quote]

Yeah, Reid’s a sympathetic ear in private but then will vote along with the other board members in favor of north Arlington each and every time.  Look at the high school and middle school rezoning votes.  Both increased poverty at south schools.  I’d rather know who is working against me than someone supposedly on “our” side.[/quote]

He is literally all you’ve got. He is the only one asking the hard questions. He is the only one who cares about demographics. BK will
Also listen to reason, but until NVD is booted, it’s gonna be hard.[/quote]

BK listen to reason?????  She's the one who definitely will say what she thinks you want to hear.  She has zero interest in, and has done zero to support diversity or even acknowledge there are significant (negative) differences between schools.  At least Nancy and Tannia speak honestly.  I agree that Reid caves in votes - but he did cast the sole vote in favor of option 3 for the high school debacle.  I never understood why he then didn't vote against the final scenario that was adopted since his vote wasn't needed for passage.  Nevertheless, he made his statement - literally, and a long one it was.[/quote]

BK has sided with RG. I think it was over language. It was during the meeting Talento felt micro agressed.[/quote]
That was once.  She has yet to vote in a way that actually supports or helps SED.  She does not speak in favor of such proposals.  She always recites the "all our schools are good" mantra.  She "understands" when a parent doesn't want to send their kid to certain neighborhood schools.  She asks for additional scenarios that favor the status quo (high school boundary option D, I think it was?)  [/quote]
