[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why all the hate for UMC and MC in SA? It makes no sense. They have just as much right to an equal, quality education. It’s one county. SA is less than 1/3 of Arlington yet comments like above are adamant about keeping those Southie cooties south. [/quote]

I think it's annoyance at people trying to upend the system.  Can't afford a house in the school district they want, therefore they buy a house zoned to a school they don't want but then push to turn the whole county into lottery so that their kids can go to the school they want.  You can't have it both ways.  If you have $500K to spend on a house, buy a house in a location that has schooling acceptable to you.  That might not be in Arlington.  [/quote]

By your logic, no one should try to improve education in Arlington across all schools period because obviously it's just a sham and they purchased their house with the wrong geographic decision criteria?  Completely disagree with your statements. People can have other reasons for wanting to improve equality in schools in Arlington. Have you considered the people pushing for change probably wouldn't even see something demonstrable in their kids schoolage lifetime? See: apparently the last 30 years in Arlington School Board history. [/quote]
