[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]19:51 here-and I think it was fine to bring those families to Virginia Run. I think our school was about zero percent free lunch/ESOL before and maybe around 15%? now. And we have a large, nice property that is not packed to the gills like others. So there was plenty of space and plenty of emotional energy for kids who might need a little more help.

The way it was done by Kathy, like these families were trash to take out, is just so distasteful to me. [/quote]

The FARMS rate at Virginia Run is 30.8% this year.  It was under 5% in 2011.[/quote]

That is a huge change in a few years. The Virginia Run people must be so laid-back. Haycock McLean types would be screaming. (Well, who are we kidding? Poor people can't afford to live near them anyway...)[/quote]

I think you would be surprised at the reality and not the DCUM version. [/quote]

??? Are you saying that the Haycock/McLean people are much nicer in real life than they are on DCUM? Or are you saying that poor people can afford to live in McLean?[/quote]

I was saying that people are nicer in real life.  However, McLean does have a free and reduced rate of 9.5%, so it is no bereft of poor people.  It has a food pantry at the HS.   [/quote]
