[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope the 2 or 3 or 5 nasty N Arlington posters on this thread are outliers. As a resident of Arlington, in the Southside, it makes me give my N Arlington friends and acquaintances the side eye as I wonder if this is really what they think of my choices, kids, socioeconomics, poverty, etc... so disheartening [/quote]

No one questions your decision not to be economically successful. But you made that decision and now you should be accountable for that decision. Instead, you are trying to get the benefits of nice schools that were created by people who made a different decision than you at the expense of their kids — they decided to be economically successful. The problem is that YOU are not respecting THEIR choices. [/quote]

Yes. Exactly. You assume that people living in south Arlington are not as "economically successful" as you because if they were, they would have bought in the same zip code? It's just not true. People make different choices. It's one school system. You didn't "create nice schools." You bought a house in a school boundary with a lot of other high income people. Other people, who may even have more money than you, bought houses in a school boundary with a mix of incomes.

If you want to control what kind of school environment your kid has, use your money to go private. Otherwise, you get what the community decides. [/quote]

Your virtue in deciding to live among the poors is admirable. But you have to take the bitter with the sweet. Good God, even the DC whites dont have the audacity to move into a known FARMS neighborhood like Bloomingdale and then turn around and insist their kids are bussed to Chevy Chase in NW DC to attend a low FARMS school and Chevy Chase kids be bussed to Bloomingdale to attend school with the poors.[/quote]

See?  Trolls. [/quote]
