[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ ok, this I think really nails it.
It's the type A North Arlington helicopter parent neurosis. Frankly, I'm glad my kid won't be apart of that. The kids on my street who went to south Arlington schools K-12 are at great colleges. I'm not going to get caught up in some pearl clutching rat race over whether or not my kid is ahead in third grade. They are learning other valuable life skills in their neighborhood school. They are learning that not everyone is privledged, and looks like them. They are learning patience. They are learning empathy. 
Sitting down at the table together,  talking every night, and reading to and with my kid will do more than anything else. [/quote]

-1. South Arlington kids have worse outcomes across the board, whether poor or middle class, and it's due in part to the factors described by PP.

Hope you are fixing five-course meals, because there is a lot of extra work you'll need to do to compensate for the slow pace at school.[/quote]
