[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are families that give these schools a try for K maybe 1st and 2nd. 
3rd is a crucial year. Everyone knows that. [/quote]

No "everyone" doesn't. 3rd grade is crucial how? Frankly, you are a terrible parent if you let your kids languish for 1-3 years before making a move. That's why I don't believe you. There aren't that many lazy or incompetent parents in Arlington. You are making stuff up. [/quote]

I truly believe this isn’t true as well. Parent at a “lower performing school” here and I don’t know anyone who has done this. I do know plenty of people that just don’t enroll their kids at all in our neighborhood, so they are making the decision based on perception vs experience. Everyone has to do what is best or they think is best for their kids. But I believe that if more parents started at these schools we would see most of them stay not leave in the “critical” 3rd grade year.[/quote]

Well why don’t you two nit wits go talk to Reid Goldstein sometime, because that’s exactly what he did. [/quote]

Maybe so, but according to contemporary news reports at the time, Randolph was a sardine can. Well over 150% capacity as I recall. That also figured into his decision. I'd do the same. Turgid instructional pace and unbelievably overcrowded? No thanks.[/quote]
