That post is EXACTLY what is wrong with the world! You should be ashamed of yourself, you pig.

Wow nice way to go low. The pp was telling it like it is. Might not be popular but it is still true. Parents at Langley invest in the school. Folks at other schools should try it. Maybe they would be happier.

That's easy to do when you don't have any apartment complexes for the poor.

Much easier said than done. You Langley parents have it made but that’s not real world - the rest of us have a slew of non-English, three-job parents who leave it up to the school to educate their kids. Call yourself lucky but that doesn’t make you superior.

We need to agree to disagree. Herndon parents want their school to be a better place and Langley parents already have a school that is “a better place” and don’t want it messed with. We all just want the same things for our kids; the difference is that some can afford to live in GF and some (most!) can’t.

There is no question that there is a problem with so many poor and likely undocumented immigrants in Herndon. The numbers have increased dramatically in the last year. That is not going to be resolved by FCPS. It needs to be resolved by our politicians--who seem to be encouraging it.

To those upset about this, I would suggest you start writing your Congressmen and start voting. When Herndon elects a delegate who wants Virginia to work on welcoming undocumented immigrants, you have a problem. When your politicians all want Herndon and Fairfax County to be a sanctuary city, you will continue to have this problem. You have encouraged this. When you always vote for the Dem SB endorsed person, this is what you get.

Well said. WE can't have it both ways. Langley folks don't have anything to do with the politics of Illegal Aliens infiltrating our schools and requiring so much assistance from the public school system.

We need to stand together to tell the elected officials what WE want. Not what they think we should have.

It's not racist. It's reality.

To echo a PP’s post, Congressional staff have informed me that their bosses’ constituents are focused on impeachment, not immigration. I told them, “Not this constituent and I know I’m not alone” and their response was a terse “thanks for reaching out” yaddah yaddah.

We need to get rid of all of them. Politicians beg for the job, "Vote For Me!" and then they don't do it.

Everyone is upset and they give us lip service and BS. Even worse the new guy running in Herndon is saying he is going to dump more immigrants there.

What is up with this nonsense? What is the solution we can all get behind?

For starters, it's time to demand the LCI be reconfigured, if not done away with entirely. Fairfax County sends heaps of money downstate and gets pennies on the dollar in return. Whether anyone likes it or wants to admit it, employers in this area depend on cheap labor for everything from commercial construction to nannying. Neither party is going to really do anything to crack down on illegal immigration, for different reasons. We are a huge county with a need for more infrastructure and school resources than the rest of the state. It's time to demand that more of our tax dollars stay in the area. That's something that local politicians actually do care about, and it would be easier to convince them to move on it than to lobby for immigration reform.

Why is it fair that Langley is at 1.77% FARM and Herndon is at 40.53% (and rising) FARM???

It is totally fair that Langley kids go to a school in a neighborhood they can afford, and Herndon kids go to a school in a neighborhood they can afford. There is no reason to believe that "fairness" requires poor kids to be shipped to the school rich kids attend.

It is not at all fair that people make a major life decision about where to live - which is, in most cases, their largest financial investment - in order to put their kids in a good school, and then this decision is negated because others wish to indulge in crazed experiments in social engineering (which have proven a failure everywhere else they have been tried).

I understand what you are trying to say and I recognize that you're not buying a house around here, you're buying a school. I am concerned that it's just "separate but equal" all over again but based on SES.

And if they bus the kids all around the county they will still have different SES. Then you’ll complain about that, too, because you can’t stand anyone being more successful than you are.

Nobody on here can possibly think that if an independent body was brought in to redraw all FCPC boundaries that western Great Falls would still go to Langley. The distance to Herndon is much shorter.

As opposed to the obsessive parents on this board who don’t like all the poor Hispanic kids at their school and think moving other kids from an under-enrolled school moved into crowded Herndon will solve their problems.
