[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The literacy rate for women in Ethiopia is 28%. 
Not good.[/quote]

PP here, mine was the plane ticket mention. Generally, the farther away one emigrates from, the more educated or resourced they are. Ethiopian immigrants aren't really any different in terms of education than the us population. Anyway, that community has been in Arlington for decades, longer than the recent influx of refugees from the Midwest, myself included, lol. Lots of immigrants come to this area for the same reason I did! Education and jobs. Can't fault them for that.[/quote]

I never said I faulted anyone, but let’s not pretend about the way things are. I really dislike that about Arlington. I’m all for a great education for all kids, and that means integrated schools.[/quote]

PP isn't pretending, you are. All immigrants are not the same. The more $$ you have to spend to get here, the more likely it is that your family of origin is educated and better resourced. [/quote]
