But the promise of getting your kid into aap or a school being able to say (indirectly or directly) “we ARE serving your kid, they aren’t ready for extra.” Plays into the minds of parents and helps them feel they have somethjng to strive for. It has kept much parents in.

VA orMD not parents will do what is best for their kids. There will be flight from schools. The board is new and dumb and haven’t figured out this will be a downfall for years to come.

The board is not dumb. There is no perfect solution to this complicated problem and no decision will make everyone happy.

Sorry but this board is green and dumb and clearly doesn’t understand what nice white and upper middle class parents actually want. Just look at what they are doing. They don’t understand the actual consequences of what they are doing.

Guessing you are not the “not everything is about race” poster 🙄

Go ahead, write your to, make your noise… denial and anger come before acceptance.

Or, just stfu and MOVE since you’ve got it like that. Go insulate yourself from the browns and the poors and be done with it.

DP. We have a plan to make sure our kids don’t get directly hurt by the SB’s upcoming chaos. It’ll cost us a good chunk of change, but our kids are worth it. I feel bad for all of my neighbors who can’t afford a different situation and will get jammed up by the board, but I guess that’s just the way it is.

I’ve never voted Republican as I’ve always supported the non extreme Democratic platform. This redistricting push has single-handedly changed how I will vote in state races going forward. I get it, I’m just one voter, but I really don’t see how the Dems don’t lose significant support over this.

So as to your frequent comments about browns and blacks and frequent race baiting on this platform, I’d just let you know that the board is about to do significant harm to your equity cause, with little to nothing to show for it. You can tell people to stfu, but that won’t change this fundamental truth.

I don’t care if there are kids in my children’s school who don’t speak English. I care if there are gang fights or kids throwing punches. I also care that my kid goes to the same school for all four years of high school. We can apply to TJ or go to the aap center for middle school but I think FCPS is killing itself on this.
There will be a rise in private schools in the area and more MC and UMC flight from public schools. FCPS isn’t in a position currently to take on this level of instability.

We used to live right by Lewis. I loved the area. I didn’t care about lots of immigrants. Dh and I are children of immigrants. The gang activity is what made us move.

Changing the school boundary will likely make others move or switch to private.

Lack of English skills is what tanks the schools test scores and ranking.

Oh stop I’m a child of an immigrant and I teach immigrants and that is NOT the issue in learning if your kid is in a school with immigrant kids. It is about gang violence and safety. Having grown up outside of Baltimore and worked in Montgomery county I know what comes next for FCPS. I’ve seen it happen many a time. There will be a rise of catholic and private schools. If you are smart you will
start one in the area. Maybe that is Kyle’s next business venture.

That is the problem. Gang violence isn't the problem in fcps elementary schools. Or even most middle schools.

My kid was in the AAP program at Springfield estates. Elementary level is fine. We have friends who are still in the area now and considering moving with kids in middle school.

Of course the AAP classes are fine. They're not in the AAP classes.

I’m not sure who you are referring to as they. There were many black and brown people in AAP at Springfield Estates. There were many African immigrant children and children of African American military in addition to Asian immigrants.

The parents’ education background is everything. I have noticed that children who are new English learners who have educated parents always pick up English and excel. Educated African immigrants with both mother and father supporting child perform well, the same way as an immigrant from Korea or China does well.

This is not currently true

That is unfortunate. There were many smart and gifted black and brown children when we were there. It was truly like the UN with children from every background. Back when we were there, over 10 elementary schools fed into Springfield estates so it was a true AAP center.

You are clearly not understanding the issue. I’m not insulated from “blacks and browns” I want my kids insulated from gangs and violence. My kids go to a majority minority school. The thing is we have to move out of the county as apparently no place is safe here. When we bought, we thought we were buying a majority minority well performing pyramid. Now no one knows where that may be.
The board will just redistrict in secret when they want. So if you live across west Springfield high school but Lewis is closer to you than they are currently bussing kids, they could just plop you in Lewis. Who knows which neighborhoods to even buy into. That is why the board is dumb

Do you actually know kids who attend Lewis? Or are you just regurgitating things you’ve heard? Because I know multiple families of children who attend now, and they do not share your opinion of it being a gang infested slum, as you would like to believe.

Sounds like your child would benefit from attending private school, where you could have more influence over their peers. But when you elect to send your kid to a free PUBLIC school, you lose that control and accept that decisions are made in the best interest of the community.

That’s cute that you think public school is free. I guess for some people like you maybe it is.

So, you mislead earlier when you barked “free PUBLIC school” or do you just not understand how taxes work?

Cool. If that is true:
why do so many transfer out?
Why hasn’t getting rid of IB brought people
Back
Why do people leave the Lewis area after elementary?

I chose public for my kids. I want them to be exposed to people of all races and they are. In order for children to develop respect for races they need to see successful people of that race. This is why one of the biggest things you can do to help black and brown kids is to show people like them doing well. I chose a high performing minority school so my kids can grow up knowing all people can be successful regardless of color. You do you. If you want Lewis for your kid- have at it. I loved the fact my kid was going k-12 in a geographic radius of 2 miles, have community and see successful people of color around them. That will change if their school changes.

You can rail against me if you want but I bet you want the same for your kid. You think bringing in white kids will help. I think giving more supports immigrant families need (not test scores but social services) will help more.

I think FCPS will not do this and instead ruin what works for many.

[Anonymous]

It is just a huge mistake to make these sort of changes without transparency. It makes people doubt the process and not understand the thinking behind the changes. The school board should be able to stand behind their proposed boundary changes publicly and through their defense of it might ease some minds. There also would be less panic if people knew what was actually being considered. As it is, no one knows whether what they are considering is actually reasonable or not.

I'm interested that so much of the discussion on this thread is about WSHS. Is that just because that's the community most on this board? Because I think there are other areas, West Potomac/Mt. Vernon springs to mind, that are just as problematic. Are those people just not tracking this or does everyone think they won't be included?

Where did I say anything about bringing in white kids? Who is race baiting now? I’m excited about Lewis getting higher SES kids with engaged parents, idgaf about their race.

Transfers out of Lewis occur for many reasons. You could easily research this, but you don’t really care about those do you?

Honestly I think it is because those families already have private and what wshs has going for it is middle class families/military and government workers who want public. But they want strong public.
It is a tight knit community within a huge district and breaking that feels like a huge loss. We do little league sports and pools together. Taking one part of that while everyone else gets to stay is sad.

Agreed. And also, at least at our elementary feeder to WSHS, we have a beautiful, diverse community that we love. We are white but literally every kid in my son's friend group is not and comes from a variety of countries and cultures. WSHS area WORKS and people love it. It's a mix of high income families and low income apartments. Why mess with the model of what we want to happen in FCPS??

Please reach out to the board to let them know your thoughts. At this point, it’ll only be community engagement that will stop this disaster.

Well yes I do want to know because I would work to transfer my kids back to wshs. So you admit to race baiting before then. Ok.
To fire back at you in the same style you employ: Why don’t you want more support for the kids at Lewis who are low income? What have you done to advocate. BTW I will advocate for them if it is my kid there.

So you want what we have and want to bring our kids to you so you have company. And you don’t understand why we are upset? That isn’t honest.

Oh I did! I've emailed my rep twice and the entire school board got a long letter. We'll see if I hear anything meaningful back. I doubt it.

Awesome, let your neighbors know too! I think this is a good time to get the message out so that the overwhelming outrage can do is work.
