[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t sound like the community Carlin Springs serves is clamoring for an Immersion school. Stop offering it up like a sacrificial lamb to make things more convenient for the UMC. Claremont is already taking up a school in S Arlington 2 miles away. Campbell is right there too. [/quote]

Yeah. They’re a pretty quiet bunch. They don’t want too much attention. Wonder why that is? Wonder what could keep that particular community under the radar....[/quote]

Don’t be an ass. It’s unbecoming. [/quote]
Back at ya.
Don’t use underserved communities to help you achieve your goal of opportunity hoarding. Unbecoming indeed.[/quote]

I’m not sure what you mean by opportunity hoarding. I’m a South Arlington resident that lives in between 2 already-option schools and doesn’t want to see a another take up a third neighborhood school. [b]Makes it harder to economically diversify the schools. [/b]

I will call out your subtle-wink-wink comment about why Carlin Springs parents aren’t more vocal. You’re not as clever as you think you are. All you’re doing is perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Do better. [/quote]

DP, but nope, economic segregation propped up by housing policy has baked this cake. There are no boundaries, and certainly not sensible/walkable ones (and that’s all they will ever do) that can ever really change the make-up of the most segregated schools, because there simply aren’t enough SFHs to balance the CAFs in Arlington Mill or the MARKs in Douglas Park. And when I say balance, I mean at least a 50/50 balance. Show me on a map how you do that. But I don’t think you can. If it were that easy it would already be done. Also, you can’t cross 50. It’s forbidden. [/quote]
