[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this thread just makes me want to move to Arlington.

What exactly are you afraid of?  Do you honestly think your kid's outcomes will be measurably different if they have to cross to my side of the Park every day for school (which I don't think is likely, but still)?

I mean, if you want to move to VA, go ahead, but I'm just trying to understand what the fear is here.[/quote]

Spoken by someone without kids with learning disabilities. I have seen the difference between my child at an under-resourced school and my child at a school that can provide support and services.  It was stark.  I have a non-special needs kid who would thrive just about anywhere, but this isn't true of all kids who live in Lafayette's boundary.  The assumption that all high ses kids will do well in school because of their family upbringing is as misguided as the assumption of pk3 parents that they need a school that can teach advanced children, as if their kids are just guaranteed to be academically advanced.

Are you the PP who wants to move to Arlington?[/quote]
