A few assholes in our neighborhood want an all-white student body because their kids are social misfits and can't stand up for themselves.

I don't believe it has zero to do with friends, since there are numerous posts above stating that they are concerned not just about boundary-redrawing but about middle schools being split between multiple high schools because they don't want kids being separated from friends. You might not be concerned about this, but it appears that at least a few others are.

Regarding proximity and walking: ANY boundary drawn ANYWHERE is going to necessarily involve some students being further away from their assigned school than they are from some other school, and will involve separating some neighbors from others. I live on at the very edge of a planning unit assigned to one elementary school (School A). The people who live behind us (whose backyards meet up with the backyards on my street) all go to another school (School B). The people who live across the street to one side of our house (we live on a corner) all go to yet another school (School C). We live less than half a mile from School C and could easily walk there. Instead we are assigned to School A, which is more than a mile away--a long way for, say, a kindergartener on a rainy day. The people who live behind us also live less than half a mile from School C, but more than a mile from their assigned School B. Would I prefer to be assigned to School C? Sure. Would it be nice if my kids when to school with the kids who live behind us and across the street? Absolutely. But the boundary had to be drawn somewhere.

There will be winners and losers with any redrawing of boundaries. You might end up further from your assigned school, but someone else will end up closer to theirs. That's life.

Thank you, and walk zones certainly aren't a compelling enough reason to push Wakefield up to 50% poverty.

AMEN

Well we are making Yorktown even whiter and richer with the new planning units.

Idiots.

We are headed to W-L for swim and track right now. Why? It's a mile from our house.

I'm not going to get in a car and drive to the alternatives

We are a tiny county. An alternative school isn't that much of stretch.

It will be good for you to get out if the house and work off some of that tension. I'm sure a swim will help you cool off.

It might help if you remind yourself that no matter what school your kids go to, and even when you no longer have school-aged children, you will still be able to use the pool and track that are a mike from your house. Just because you don't have kids at W-L doesn't mean you can't use the facilities.

Also, during that swim maybe you can think about possible solutions to this problem so that you can contribute to the discussion instead of just tearing about in a foul-mouthed rage.

I can run one yes. My 9-year old can bike there in that time. He runs a 25-min 5k.

Not everyone is an out-of-shape fat fuck. It's sad when we can't expect 14-18 year olds to walk 1-1.5 miles to HS.

Yay!! More buses!! Yea more pollution!!! Yea waking up earlier for HS!! Keeping Arlington...brown?

Please calm down. Sheesh.

LV lady needs to chill out.

Or maybe call up some Nottingham friends and find out how to make APS bend to your will even if it's not best for most involved.

The County sucks and schools continue to deteriorate. People are complacent and self-congratulatory living in their delusional world.

I agree with LV lady, if we had less pussies on the County & School Boards we wouldn't find ourselves in the over-crowded mess we currently have.

They've been "in discussions" about this since my 13-year old was in Kindergarten.

More outrage would be a good thing.

These fuckers with their "discussions" is why my middle schooler has trailer park central and eats lunch at 10am.

Bussing anyone a mile from a HS is the result of all of these coffee talks??

If you guys are so upset about overcrowding, you should be happy to be redirected to Wakefield. It's a beautiful new building with room.

Not my problem.

Walking units should not be moved. Period.

Sorry, but someone is getting moved and there other important considerations.
