Ladies and Gentlemen: white privilege! How nice that your home's value doesn't matter to your personal wealth. [/quote]

Ladies and Gentlemen: White delusional entitlement! Not only must the value of my house increase, but it must do so as rapidly as possible, and that is best ensured by being zoned to a school full of rich white kids. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]What is so delusional about parents buying homes in an area where the school's test scores are strong?
I'll tell you what is delusional.  All these crazy white parents in South Arlington who are so bitter b/c 1) they can't afford to move to a better neighborhood to ensure their kids aren't minorities in their public schools;[/quote]
Hate to tell you this, but plenty of people in south Arlington can afford to live in north Arlington, 395 or yellow/blue is a better commute for many people into DC.   [b]No one is disputing commuting might be better in south for those who work in DC, although I am really close to GW parkway, so my commute into DC is much better than it was when I lived in south.  Don't believe the fact about plenty.  Sure you can probably afford a tinier, older home in north arlington, but at least the parents on the barcroft thread were being more honest about it.

[quote=Anonymous] 2) they may be facing losses in property values as their schools (not just HS) continue to face more FARMS students as more affordable housings units are built in the south. [/quote] 
Hell will freeze over before property values fal[b]l in Arlington.   [b]Really, why don't you read the barcroft thread and then speak to some of the local brokers re: south arlington.

[quote=Anonymous] Most rational parents who plan on sending their kids to APS would choose N. Arlington over S. Arlington any day.[/quote]
So the literally thousands of parents sending their kids to south Arlington schools are irrational? I think your logic is irrational.   [b]No.  What i should have said is that if you can afford to live in north arlington, no rational parent would choose south over north if you plan to send your kids to public school.

[quote=Anonymous] WAAH.  I made a bad choice and now I won't rest until other kids suffer just like mine will.  I guess it's true what they say, "Misery loves company."[/quote]
If the kids in one school are suffering, then you know why the school board has to address it--they are legally required to, regardless of what parents do or don't want.  [/quote]  [b]Legally required to do what?  The test scores are lower than the other two, but all i've heard APS people say is that all 3 are good schools.[/b][/quote]
