[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds great. Part of the firm belief in equity — not just equality of opportunity — that so many in Arlington have.[/quote]

That ... isn't what equity means. [/quote]

Sure it is.  Equity in this context means trying to get equal funding.  Getting people at the same starting point.  Is it easy?  Heck no.  The privileged rich white kids from the great white north have unequal advantages.[/quote]

This is such BS.

All Arlington schools are rich, your school probably richer, your kids are still performing poorly because of their family and parents (you), it has nothing to do with money.

Many poor minorities are thriving because they work hard, they don’t sit there and envy what others have more than them. There is always someone with more resources than you.  Compared to private schools, all N Arlington schools pretty much suck, should all parents just cry and insist that parents from private schools share their fundings with all public schools? Or should you focus on learning (not some useless field trip).  Plenty of poor kids choose to focus on learning and went on to great colleges.
