[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some recent examples (I have to think at least some of them written by Marshall parents/boosters, and of course there are all the RE posts recommending Pimmit Hills):

"Marshall is better than all the other schools listed so zoning for Marshall is actually a plus"

"Woodson is a good school but the location is far imo. Marshall now exceeds it and there are poor woodson apts near fair city."

"Woodson has not really gone up that much in quality because the more affluent people have moved closer into the beltway to places like 22182, 22043.  The real increase in quality is Marshall which has surpassed woodson in many areas."

"I think you should try to buy in the Marshall district versus the Falls Church HS (Fairfax Co.) or JEB Stuart district."

"Make sure you look at the schools, some of merrifield / mosaic is in Falls Church High Zone while as the other part is in Marshall."

Response to question from poster about Falls Church HS: "You can send your daughter to Marshall IB."

I can't believe this poster took the time to capture all these and repost them.  They must have some pent up anger over Marshall parents.[/quote]

DCUM has a search function.  It doesn't take very long to find such examples, which a previous poster had suggested weren't out there.  No pent-up "anger," but perhaps some annoyance at the volume of negative comments about other schools that seem to emanate from a few Marshall touts. [/quote]

Ok, you took the time to "Search" for all those quotes and repost them.  And fine, I should have used the word annoyance rather than anger.  I think it's amazing you are willing to do that.  I applaud you.  *Clap Clap[/quote]

No problem, though you seem kind of salty about it. [/quote]

Not salty at all.  I'm just in awe of the dedication in your posts.  To be able to "Search" for all those quotes and repost them, how can anyone compete?[/quote]

The snark factor in your posts is pretty obvious, but I don't mind.  Hopefully the PP comes away with a better appreciation of the "triangle" and pyramid she's considering. [/quote]
