[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People aren't going to grow up. When people pay a premium to send their children to certain school, they are also paying premium to avoid another school. 
200k is a lot of money to most people. The investment they've made in their homes is no small thing. The idea they could have paid less, for the same result always turns these discussions ugly. 
It's not enough to live on the right side of town, kids on the other side have to be failures. They paid too much for that not be true. [/quote]

+1  Absolutely desperate to make sure everyone at Wakefield is a failure, otherwise what is the excuse for not going there?  [/quote]

I don't have an issue with Wakefield as a school, W-L is 1/2 mile from my house so I'd rather my kids walk there instead of [b]riding a bus for hours each day.[/b] [/quote]

are they going to TJ?[/quote]

Our neighbor's kid went to Gunston MS for immersion and the amount of time he spent on the bus was ridiculous. Wakefield is almost 2x further. No thanks. [/quote]

um, do you even know where Gunston or Wakefield is? the only place for WF to be 2x further than GMS would be Crystal/Pentagon City... but last I checked that is not 1/2 mile from WL.

but no, please stay where you are and don't come close to either Gunston or Wakefield.[/quote]

Key word = almost; 5 miles vs 8.5 miles

Many people in Arlington, my family included, prioritize short commutes & walkability. I'd strongly prefer to have my kid walk or bike to school instead of sitting on a long bus ride (even to Gunston). Not sure why that's such a tough concept for you to grasp. Or why you're so combative.
