[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. There was not enough time to improve the school before my kids were going to be done with it. And my neighbors didn't agree with my judgment that it needed to be improved. They thought it was fine. So, please forgive me for not wanting to spend all my time fighting to improve the school when I could afford to move and spend that time with my kids instead.  You are correct that I gave up and moved. I know that lots of kids who don't have anyone to speak for them are at a disadvantage as a result. I know as well as anyone because they were in class with my kids for 3 years. But I never agreed to take that on when I moved to S. Arlington. And no one else was taking up that flag with me. So I left.  Don't blame me. Blame the affordable housing lobby, blame Arlington politics, blame hapless but well intentioned VOICE advocates. [/quote]

I didn't say you had to stay. But don't come on here and complain anonymously and never name the exact school and never speak out in any place or in any way that will make a real difference. [/quote]

DP - What is your big issue about calling out a specific school by name?  Speaking out on these things about a particular school doesn't help.  All it does is get you called elitist, entitled, and racist.  The principles apply to every "under-performing" low-income school in Arlington and it doesn't matter which one this particular person left.  [/quote]
