FCPS comprehensive boundary review

They want to take kids out of neighborhoods that have been in schools for over thirty years and place send them further away.
What is "right" about that?

Nah, it’s a bunch of retirees that had kids grow up in FCPS in the 80s/90s that also want the changes. They like the appearance of being equity warriors.

A family I know already moved deep into territory that will ensure their kids attend a plurality white high school with low FARMS. The parents will still blindly vote blue and will virtue signal with flags in the yard, but as long as their kids aren’t directly exposed to a FARMS/minority population at school then all is well for them.

Yes and yes. The schools need to be rebalanced. Whether our HS pyramid is affected or not doesn’t matter to me, nor whether my kids get moved. I also expect the boundaries to be reviews at least every 10 years though major changes may not always be necessary.

I object to parents feeling entitled to a specific pyramid especially if they live in neighborhoods in the edges. This is a county wide district not some podunk city district that has a few high schools.

Tell me your kids are in a poor performing school without telling me that they are…

NP. My school is in a middle of the road pyramid. I'm not worried about whether is performs better or worse. I'm worried about overcrowding.

Literally and figuratively you find/seek comfort in mediocrity.

How did your parents raise you? So what if they are - did you need to wrote that out as a reponse?

I sleep well at night. Come after my kids and make an enemy is a pretty fundamental approach to life.

Lollllll...."come after my kids". Okkkkkk

Your response is precisely why the school board has this so wrong. They don’t realize the intensity with which people will hate them after their kids are forced to move. I get you are just shilling and that you realize this too.

DP but your kid isn't that special. Even if you move to avoid the newly zoned school, somebody else will buy your house and likely go to that school. Your specific kids are not being targeted. I also don't think the school board cares how much people hate this process. The next crop of parents won't even know you or your outrage existed.

These meetings are just for show to check the box that there was community engagement/input for the rezoning process.

The majority of families don't care about boundary changes. Maybe on a forum like this, but the day-to-day, nope. People are more concerned about losing their jobs and paying for groceries. Some might even be worried about getting deported. School board crap, not at all.

Tell me you think keeping like with like and property values are more important to you than educatio without telling me they are.

How does having higher performing students help underperforming students? The things that cause them to underperform are in their homes.

It doesn’t but neither do expansions or new schools. It does however utilize existing infrastructure to alleviate capacity burden on others.

Again, people should be far more outraged over what is going on (or not) and what’s coming next. The boundary study and POTENTIAL changes are smoke and mirrors to keep you distracted.

This thread is on a spool being wound round and round arguing the same things over and over and over and over. At the end of the day, it will not make a difference.

Well share with the class. What is it we should be focused on instead?

I and others have said it several times already in this thread and older ones. It’s not worth repeating because you are distracted by boundary changes. It won’t matter whether you go to a so-called good or best school or not.

You wrote this whole response and didn't even answer the question. Lame.

Also, a DINK coupling might move into your house. Homes are still selling and will always sell in this area. Newly arriving families don't care.

Possibly right, but then again, DINKs don’t normally look for a house like mine unless it is offered at a significant discount to what it is currently at.

Once the dynamics in the county change where UMC families are no longer welcome, the school system as it currently exists will changes significantly, and not in the way you may hope.

Transparently wrong given the hundreds of families that have been showing up on random weekday evenings to protest the changes.

Comprehensive review will occur every five years. This time is different by design.

The majority of parents DO care. They are just not aware. There is very little local news about this and most people assume their kids will stay where they are.

We will see in the next SB elections how much people care.
