[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'd rather dissolve neighborhood schools and disperse wealth rather than poverty. And that is how you become Alexandria, with all the wealthy kids going to private schools, and much less PTA money for the public schools.[/quote] True story! It's already happening at my kids' school. UMC families (that are able to) are working on private school apps because they are tired of watching APS continue to fail at basic planning and analysis. While part of me thinks, oh good that will help capacity, on the whole this is not a positive trend because these are the same families that contribute a lot to the school in both time and finances. It's the making of Alexandria as you point out. Just give it time.[/quote] Yup. North Arlington is undergoing Bethesda-ization. South Arlington, Alexandria-zation.[/quote]
