[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to let you know OP that white middle class people send their kids to Sourh Arlington schools, [b]we aren't all scared of economic, cultural, and ethnic diversity[/b].  Small class size, excellent teachers, great kids.  [/quote]

What, exactly, are you implying?[/quote]

Did I stutter?[/quote]

You were opaque, yes. Why don't you explain yourself a little more clearly? Who is this "all" you refer to, and what makes you think they are "scared" of these things? What's the purposes of making this opaque comparison, exactly? Are you suggesting you are a better or more virtuous person than this mysterious population you refer to so opaquely? Please explain it to us in a little more detail, because, yes, you sort of did kind of stutter.[/quote]

You have got to be kidding me that in a thread riddled with "white" "upper/middle class" "high population of El Salvadorean's" "illegals moved to Fairfax county when Prince William cracked down" you are acting shocked I would make a statement like the above?  But let me break it down for you:  "all" = upper/upper-middle class white people, "scared of" = non-white people, particularly Hispanic people, and lower/lower-middle class, especially those who qualify for free or reduced lunch.  The purpose of the comparison was to let the OP know that South Arlington schools are a great option and not to discount moving there.  She specifically asked about Alexandria and Arlington schools, did she not?

Do I think I am better or more virtuous?   No, but I definitely think I got a better deal on a house in a great school system than some who pay more for a house just b/c it is North Arlington due to the demographics.

I didn't realize the thread was 2+ years old though, if I did, I wouldn't have bothered replying, as she has probably settled into her new house by now and maybe already remodeled a bathroom or two.     Why are you so upset with what I posted anyway?  [/quote]
