DP. I would be delighted if people like you packed up and moved! |
Yes, I’m aware. The thing is, why would/should we? We worked hard to buy our homes and are quite happy here, thanks. We’ll probably wind up retiring in place down the road, as many neighbors have done. Sorry! |
“Hoarding resources”… I can’t even. You probably think your student loans should be “forgiven” too, right? |
It’s doubly rich because she’s talking about FCPS, where a lot of extra resources go to the lower-ranked schools. The exact opposite of what she is complaining about. If the SB pulls the trigger on redistricting it’ll be funny to see people on this platform start to complain when the redistricted kids start to take up coveted spots at TJs, on sports teams, and in the class rank. |
I’m not a fan of any county-wide boundary changes without FCPS putting in a lot more work first, but I think PP probably knows the highest-rated schools get the least funding per student in FCPS. The suggestion is that, if higher-income families are redistricted to some schools, they’ll begin to invest their own resources in those schools, so they may be more likely to have the types of extras the more affluent schools have. I don’t know if that would happen or not. The redistricted families might just move, or go private, or find some way to pupil place. But you should at least acknowledge the argument that’s actually being made. |
Thank you, but so far I am not feeling deprived at the elementary level. One step at a time. |
I acknowledge what she is trying to do - take my time, money and resources using my kid’s education as the means instead of investing her own time and resources in the school. Geez, I wonder why parents push back against redistricting so much? |
So you want the school board to move the parents that people can benefit from them. That’s so much better. :eye roll: |
+1 The person who constantly natters away about redistricting is beyond transparent. |
- 1. You don’t have to agree with them, but no need to be so unpleasant about it. |
DP. That’s rich, given the typical post from the SJWs. |
What is the “typical post” from the “SJWs”? |
When they constantly repeat the same song and dance - not just here but on other threads - they’re simply trolling. Are you new here? |
Exactly. |
No, but “same song and dance” is just another way of saying “typical post.” Why so vague? |
