[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here in North Arlington we should maybe consider that one of the reasons that immigrant parents prefer to have their kids clumped together in the same school for the value of the community is the racism and the classicism that these parents and kids face from people and schools in North Arlington. WTF Yorktown?  I'm just saying. [/quote]

For many immigrants s Arlington is what they know and what's convenient, and they like it.  The immigrants move to an affordable community with lots of people that they can understand and who can understand them, and they want to keep their kids nearby.  If there were an identical Wakefield in far north Arlington they still wouldn't ship their kids across town to go there (because why?) and they can't afford to live there, and life is easier for them where they are, so what's the point?

It's pretty obnoxious for a n Arlingtonian to view what she has as something better and pity those who don't have it, when the people they are pitying are pretty damn content with their schools.[/quote]
