FCPS Boundary Review Updates

Anonymous wrote:Since you seem kind of stuck on bigotry, here is an AI summary of research:

Changing schools, especially during high school, can negatively impact academic performance, potentially leading to lower test scores, increased risk of dropping out, and difficulty keeping up with coursework due to disruptions in learning and social adjustment.

Here's a more detailed look at the potential consequences:

Negative Impacts:
Academic Disruption:
Changing schools can disrupt a student's academic progress, making it harder to build on previously learned knowledge and skills.
Students may experience gaps in their knowledge due to missing important lessons or topics covered in their old school.
Differences in curriculum or teaching styles can lead to difficulty keeping up with coursework.
Students may also struggle to adapt to new teaching methods and learning habits.

Social Adjustment:
Transitioning to a new school can be socially challenging, with students potentially struggling to fit in or find their place among established friend groups.
Students may experience increased loneliness or victimization, which can negatively impact their self-esteem and academic performance.

Increased Risk of Dropping Out:

Students who change schools are more likely to drop out of school.
A study found that high schoolers who change schools during the academic year are 40% more likely to drop out.

Lower Academic Achievement:
Students who change schools are more likely to demonstrate lower average academic achievement.
Studies have found that changing schools is associated with lower growth in test scores.
One study found that each school change was associated with a deficit of 0.02 GPA points in the year of the change.

I love it. Bringing the receipts.

The unhinged poster claiming racism is a clown.

Is it that the teachers suck at certain schools? Or is it that people only want their kids to go to schools with certain types of children, eg., the more affluent native English speakers? And yeah, it's not the teachers, otherwise we'll just switch the staff at Langley and Herndon and call it a day.

So parents spend oodles of money on housing so their kids can attend schools with other affluent kids, which drives up housing costs and forces lower-income students into certain schools.

And above all, the ones with the most income do not want to mess with the system because it risks mixing their children alongside those they spent so much money to avoid.

1. Most people want to stay where they are because they like the comm unity with others that they have developed.
2. They don't want their kids taken out of their friend groups. This can break up sports groups and scout groups.
3. Many have older siblings and it is extremely disruptive to have students in two different high schools. This affects after school activities that include families and transportation becomes very difficult.
4. Yes, people do choose housing based and schools. This is not new. This will affect the county tax base because of uncertainty.
5. As for high schools, parents may have selected housing based on AP or IB. Sure, you might can pupil place==but the school may be further away or not open to transfer. If your child gets switched from an AP to an IB school, it is unlikely you will be allowed to PP at the school you currently attend. At least, this has been the SB's historical view.
6. For many who attend high schools with compact borders, this may result in being sent further away.
7. Families' activities frequently revolve around schools. This breaks up that connection. So many people in this area are transplants and this means developing new communities.
8. For elementary school families this can also affect childcare. Some childcare facilities have buses to schools. They may not have buses to your new school.
9. If your child is currently in SACC, this may not be available at your new school.

There's more.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It’s clear that the SB has its shills lined up to spam various forums with the fiction that anyone who opposes boundary changes is a bigot.

+1. She posts this all the time. Trying to will bigotry and class warfare into existence to support her extreme left redistricting agenda.

Because you like your neighborhood? That's the same reason given in the 1960s to prevent desegregation.

What other reason do you have?

Hundreds of pages of people saying the same thing over and over. You don't want your kids to go to school with THOSE kids. Yes, it's bigotry and class warfare. Pages and pages on this site that can be used in a lawsuit because it lays clear that you have no other case other than you want to stay with a certain class of people.

And very, very interesting you assume I'm female. Because only males support segregation, I guess? It's not a good assumption on your part.

DP. I assumed you were a man. Maybe one of the crazy left-wing social studies teachers, like the two nut cases at Justice or West Springfield. Or one of the FCDC guys like that nutty dude who went to Williams and learned about class warfare in the Berkshires. Or maybe even that guy from Fairfax PRIDE, although he seems a bit addled these days.

By the way, it's odd that you'd refer to a potential lawsuit because anonymous posts on a forum like this aren't evidence, whereas the documents provided by FCPS to FairFACTS Matters revealing the irregularities in the BRAC selection process could be authenticated and introduced into evidence.

Are you Karl Frisch or maybe his husband? Are you on the school Board? Or are you one of the 60+ full-time DEIA officers employed by FCPS?

Which is it? (please answer)

To the person I posed the question to, I think you really owe us an answer here:

- who do you work for?

But moved *only* to the less desirable school. No moving up for these folks.

Start thinking about the actual effects on KIDS, not just proving your anti-racism or improving test scores.

There is absolutely no need to move 6th grade to middle school. None. There's a reason 7th and 8th grade are kept separate. I realize that much of the U.S. does combine 6-8 but I have always considered that a mistake.

6th grade is a transition time. The sixth grade teachers prepare the kids.

Also, what about staffing? Some sixth grade teachers might not be certified for 7th or 8th which could cause confusion in middle school.

I realize that pushing algebra downwards is a goal, but I'm not sure it is a good one. Faster does not always mean better.

I'm not sure why people want to attack kids who are different because they are afraid of change. Their fear mongering about kids and boundaries is just ignorant, because they clearly know nothing and there is no evidence of any but necessary boundary changes to solve issues PARENTS want solved.

Except, if you look through the responses more parents DON”T want to change boundaries. I’m also not sure why you think change in the middle of a high school career is anything BUT disruptive. Research has been done on this and it turns out children’s academic performance suffers for at least a year after a move that isn’t aligned with the usual school transitions. I have 2 kids my older AAP kid is the one who would have to switch in the middle of high school. The younger sped kid would attend the new school. I’m fine with the younger one going to a new school. I’m not fine making my older kid sacrifice with lower grades for a year because the board “forgot” about grandfathering.

It isn’t fear mongering. It is a very real concern for parents of current 8-10th graders and there is an easy solution that was proposed and then voted against.

It is not a conspiracy theory so much as a fundamental disagreement about your role in public education.

Have you considered that there are people who post on this board who believe that the primary focus of a public education should be academics, not the work of “60+ full-time DEIA officers employed by FCPS?” Those who hold that viewpoint may not view your work as “serving students” so much as “serving your own ideology at the expense of academics,” or worse “serving your own career/political goals at the expense of their children.”

People can only take so much. You are bringing a lot of focus to your role, and whether it should exist at all in public education, with this boundary review.

Exactly this. I think that post from yesterday shows the caliber of people looking to move other people’s kids.

Very very few people in the community want their kids moved.

It seems the people advocating to move other people’s kids believe that a vast majority of their neighbors are racist. And apparently they think that there will be some lawsuit where all of the “racist” posts on this board will be used as evidence.

The boundary change proponents revealed their true delusional colors yesterday.

They don’t gave the space for this. They would need a new middle school in each pyramid to make this happen. The majority of the middle schools are overcrowded.
