[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations prior poster you are finally realizing how the system works

Free stuff for the poors, special stuff for the rich and/or self segregation

The middle class is getting screwed

What's ironic is all the limo liberals don't see what the problem is.  They are safely tucked away in McLean, Langley, Vienna, etc.  And if the schools do start to slip they can afford to pull out for private.

At the same time Burke Va is basically middle class central.  Robinson and Lake Braddock pyramids are very good and beat most other middle class areas around the country.[/quote]We're not limo liberals.  Both of us were raised blue-collar, middle-class and by small business owners.  We're not from here, and the only reason we stay is for the jobs.  We'll leave as soon as we can save enough to get the kids through college and retire.  We need the public schools to be good because we can't afford private -- despite living in one of the luxurious jurisdictions listed, our house is one of those original 1950s homes that are oft decried on DCUM as eyesores bringing down the values of their million-dollar homes -- to say nothing of increased medical costs from having a special needs kid.

But do go on and tell me more about the system we routinely have to fight to get our kid an appropriate education to which he's legally entitled.  I've been too busy trying on my diamond shoes to really dig into it.  How can I game the system without moving to Burke?[/quote]
