[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HB is not some mystical place with elves and magic.  If you are inclined to be angry and unhappy before you apply, you will continue to be angry and unhappy when you are there.  If the size of WL is just the latest in a long string of issues that OP is mad at APS about, getting her child into HB would not solve OP's issues.

True, I will still be angry about what they are doing to WNL because I care about Arlington even if my kid gets to go to HBW. They are jeopardizing the entire school system, and with it all of our collective well-being and home values (and I say that because impact on taxes is only thing CB cares about). [/quote]

Arlington County (with the overwhelming consent of its voters) has made the decision to pursue high-density development.  They haven’t “abandoned” public education, but it’s not a priority.  They can do this without penalty because the land is so valuable here for reasons that have nothing to do with the school system. If I were starting out today, I wouldn’t send my kids to APS, so I do feel for younger families.  But nobody’s property values are going to tank. [/quote]
