[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to be poor. But there is a reason people move or live in different places. Poor people don’t have that luxury. Others do. Berating people for not being poor or for not wanting to go to school with poor people sounds good on paper yet it is a losing proposition. It’s as old as time. Very few people stay in a poor neighborhood or school when they have other choices. The boundaries should have been done county wide. Period. Call APS out about that. Once again terrible planning puts South Arlington in an untenable situation with no good solution. [/quote]

+1  But there certainly are better solutions than the one they've proposed so far.[/quote]

Agreed. There are limitations to what APS can do in this process. But it seems like they started working in the Oakridge/Fleet/Hoffman Boston side and got that all squared away, and then used Drew to mop up what was left. Given that the needs at Drew are so much greater than at those schools, it seems like it would have been more equitable to have started by doing the best they could for Drew and then making the best of what was left.[/quote]
