[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez. You n Arlington posters are really too much. Here is what you aren't getting...

WE DON'T WANT YOUR KIDS.

How are you not understanding this? We are fine with Wakefield as it is. We like it. Our kids are getting a good education and getting into top colleges. We don't need you guys. The sfh neighborhood's in south Arlington are plenty affluent.
BUT.
We can't take anymore poor kids. Sorry, we're full. You all voted for this wonderful county board and their altruistic policies. Well, now you get to share in the wealth ... of ... lack of wealth. It's super vibrant. You will love it.
I did buy in south Arlington, and I am fine with Wakefield, but the school can't handle more poverty. It's maxed out. The west Pike should stay put and eventually be moved to Yorktown.   [/quote]

NP. But you do need us guys.  In order for you to transfer poor kids to Yorktown you need to move in other more affluent kids from WL.  How are YOU not understanding this?[/quote]

Somebody's gotta shift sweetheart. You all crowded into the same neighborhoods. Them's the breaks. [/quote]

Sorry to disappoint you but my planning unit either remains in WL or is moved to Yorktown.  If we move to Yorktown we will deal.

And applying the same logic you just said about somebody having to shift.  all those planning units with the poor kids are less than a mile from Wakefield, so they could easily be moved to your school.  Them's the breaks.[/quote]

My kids will (should remain) walkers to WL.  I feel much more strongly than you.

Keep your teenagers close after school.  Have the home kids hang out at.  All proven methods to keep them out of trouble.

Now they will be hanging out across town after school.  [b]Lee Harrison crowd is drinkers and druggies.[/b]

HS kids avoid the bus like the plague.  Now you are taking kids that walk everywhere behind the wheel too soon.

Many WL walkers (like NYers) put off getting their drivers license until graduation because they don't need a car.  They can walk to everything and home from sports at WL.

All considerations (and --SES and racial diversity) when we decided on WL as our home HS.[/quote]

This is a really nasty, and untrue, rumor to be spreading.  Are you really an adult?  If so you are an extraordinarily ill informed and predjudiced one.[/quote]
