[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:05. Appreciate your altruistic heart and I share it. But, at some point it goes took far. This isn't just a matter of basic human dignity and the refugee crisis inEurope. We are not talking about housing homeless kids. And housing families in neighborhoods with high street crime isn't so nice. Neither is sending their kids to grossly overcrowded schools where the overwhelming majority of kids are poor too. And the teachers are overwhelmed and little PTA support.

if you are willing to directly sacrifice the education of your kids and the value of your home, great. I am sick of it. I have a friend who just moved from south to north arlington. She cannot  believe the differences in the school learning environment .[/quote]

I agree with 23:05 on not shutting the kids or those who need assistance out, but I think there needs to be more resources. I don't want to see my kid's education compromised, but with what's happening, that's not even the case. South Arlington needs a lot more money and resources if the County wants to continue putting so many people and children with extra educational needs here. Will there be a separate school track for those children who need less help and might be bored while the other kids are getting help? Or will there be universal preschool for South Arlington zip codes to level the field? I know that two thirds of the preschool slots are for families who make $86K or less, but universal preschool could really benefit everyone and maybe the South will start look like the North performance wise, when the kids from less wealthy families have the same leg up the rest of us can afford/stretch our wallets for.[/quote]
