[quote=Anonymous]These concerns you all have over the level of poverty at Wakefield is all bunk. It's too late for those at-risk students by high school. If you force more affluent families to Wakefield, there will effectively be two high schools at Wakefield. The less affluent students won't be rubbing elbows with the more affluent students in the classroom. That's where the supposed benefits would come from according to previous social experiments. However, I don't buy the benefits of the social experiment that you all claim is vital to the educational experience. Diversity should be dead last for these boundary considerations. if you value diversity, go live in it! And stop trying to force this on everyone else's family. Don't feel guilty if you picked the western end of Columbia pike to head to Wakefield in the boundary tool like I did. I didn't when I voted for that solution. I'm in a WL district In north Arlington and fortunately I'm not affected by this boundary refinement. I hope my friends in north Arlington won't be affected by this boundary refinement nonsense. And I hope all you big talkers will send your children to the very schools that you're insisting we should dutifully send our children. Sorry, not interested. [/quote]
