Arlington Schools are far superior to those in Fairfax which is also reflected in the fact the Duncan would choose Arlington. Arlington is a small county with 10% of the student body compared to failing Fairfax or Montgomary Counties. Especially, now during these bad times many students in Fairfax are in trailers and teachers are being laid off. Arlington does not have the same problems because of the great wealth of the people living there supporting the public schools. Arlington is the foundation of rich democratic america - just take a drive in Country Club Hills and it is right there to be seen.
