[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let's summarize

Hispanics are fine with their situation
Whites in Northern Arlington are fine with their situation

The only people that seem to be complaining are non rich whites who bought in South Arlington which is the area with the most diversity which is what people in southern Arlington want.....

Am I missing something.....

or are they just jealous of North Arlington[/quote]
My south Arlington elementary is over 70 percent poor. That's NOT DIVERSE. [/quote]

Yet you chose to buy there anyway knowing full well what the school demographics look like. You'll just have to live with that. You don't get to do that and whine about how inconvenient those poors are.[/quote]

There is no law that the school boundaries have to be drawn where they are, or that we have to have "neighborhood" schools. We could have all choice schools. Or all lottery schools where slots are assigned so that the racial and poverty demographics in each school match APS as a whole and there is no preference for walkability--where anyone "chose to buy" could have ZERO IMPACT on what schools their children attend WITHIN APS. You are talking about political choices that have been made in the past, to have primarily neighborhood schools. We could make different choices. [/quote]
