[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t sound like the community Carlin Springs serves is clamoring for an Immersion school. Stop offering it up like a sacrificial lamb to make things more convenient for the UMC. Claremont is already taking up a school in S Arlington 2 miles away. Campbell is right there too. [/quote]

Yeah. They’re a pretty quiet bunch. They don’t want too much attention. Wonder why that is? Wonder what could keep that particular community under the radar....[/quote]

Don’t be an ass. It’s unbecoming. [/quote]
Back at ya.
Don’t use underserved communities to help you achieve your goal of opportunity hoarding. Unbecoming indeed.[/quote]

I’m not sure what you mean by opportunity hoarding. I’m a South Arlington resident that lives in between 2 already-option schools and doesn’t want to see a another take up a third neighborhood school. Makes it harder to economically diversify the schools.

I will call out your subtle-wink-wink comment about why Carlin Springs parents aren’t more vocal. You’re not as clever as you think you are. All you’re doing is perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Do better. [/quote]
My comment wasn’t subtle. 
Choice schools are the best tool for integrating schools. No wonder south Arlington struggles, [b]the middle class below 50  is just not as savy.[/b] You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him smart.[/quote]

No, the middle class below 50 is more tolerant and accepting of diversity and their kids seeing and interacting with other kids who are not middle or upper class.  The "southern middle class" just isn't as uptight and overbearing with their attitudes of superiority and entitlement for "better."[/quote]
