[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Nah. In Fairfax County, there are a lot of pyramids that are good schools, with lots of families who prioritize education, with townhouses and SFH in the very reasonable range of $300-600k. [b]But people choose other areas for bigger houses [/b]and then complain about the schools. The GS score was right there, when you bought your house. [/quote] You're forgetting to account for reasonable work commutes. Many of the strong pyramids with reasonably priced townhouses don't have viable commutes. Also, recommending that upper middle class people move away from poor people just leads to even more gentrification and an even bigger divide between "good" schools and "bad" schools. [b]A county as wealthy as Fairfax should be able to educate kids without this level of segregation.[/b] [/quote] Money has nothing to do with it. Parents not being able to help their children or provide a supportive educational environment at home is the reason these kids fall behind.[/quote] Sure, all of the parents who don't care just happen to be centered in a few pyramids, and those pyramids also just happen to have the highest percentage of FARMs students in the county. I'm sure it's totally a coincidence and has nothing to do with a segregated school system [/quote]
