I hope you find a nicer home with better schools.


I don't need either. Save your concern for someone who needs it.

I don't think anyone on this thread has asserted that Arlington is superior to either FCPS or ACPS. So, I'm not sure what you're prattling on about. All I've seen is the valid point that Arlington and McLean are basically comparable. That seems to annoy you for some reason. But that's on you, not on Arlington.

Recent quotes from the snobby mommies and daddies of North Arlington in school-related threads, including this one:

ACPS refugee here: We moved last May while our kids were in 2 and K. TAG is a highly politicized thing in ACPS, as you have discovered. APS is heads and shoulders a better system -- we knew abstractly it would be, but until we were here living it we simply can't believe how superior it is.

Here's the deal, asshat. Arlington posters routinely crap on both FCPS and ACPS. They repeatedly make general statements that ACPS is horrible; that the "quality of life" is "better" in Arlington than other jurisdictions; and that Arlington schools are "clearly superior" (a direct quote from a recent thread) to those in Fairfax.

So if you don't like the responses that the Arlington poster triggered here, tough. McLean schools ARE better than those in Arlington, and the housing is nicer, too. We wouldn't want to live in Arlington for aesthetic reasons, even if Arlington schools were better, but since they aren't it makes it that much easier to poke fun at your FDR-era teardowns and fugly McMansions on .10 of an acre.

I wasn't aware we were talking about T.C. Williams. What does T.C. have to do with any of this and why did you bring that school into this discussion?

Jesus, you need help.


You've lost the argument, so you resort to personal attack. Whatever.

By the way, there were more NMSFs from the three FCPS HS that McLean students attend (32), excluding TJ, than from all of Arlington County (22), including TJ (7).



We know, we know. We already saw your cherry, OK? It's a very nice cherry. Now, eat your sundae and I'll eat mine. Sorry yours has nuts on it. But, hey, you have a cherry!

All current kids would be grandfathered IF the first recommendation of the task force actually gets implemented. The task force is gathering community feedback so nothing is close to being implemented yet.


How do I find the proposals and give my feedback? I searches the FCPS website and found nothing on this. I also did a google search and came up empty handed.


This is what I would like to know. If there are meetings happening and proposals being circulated, why is the Haycock community not aware of it. How can we get involved?
