Hard to believe that Reid (who did not know about issues in Rt 1 corridor) is weighing in on boundaries and answering? questions.

She was talking about the 4 maps they posted for the Western High School.

Who created the maps? Staff or THRU?

And why are they showing maps to the public and getting no people all upset if they are not vetted? I swear she just says things to get people to calm down in the moment. As soon as someone is freaking out about a change she’s all “don’t worry that’s just a super drafty draft” regardless of whether that’s true. The school board must be beyond frustrated with her because then they have to clean up her mess. She is just telling everyone what they want to hear while they’re in front of her. I wouldn’t trust anything she says at this point.

Why are they doing 7 revidions to the county wide rezoning maps, based on who complains the most on the previous map?

More like who has the biggest tantrum. Some of these grown adults should be ashamed of themselves.

💯 I can't believe the school board and Dr. Reid are so stupid that they think the people who make the biggest stink are actually the majority. They're not in most instances. In most instances, the majority of the school population is indifferent but the "active families" (meaning the wealthy ones) are the most vocal and have the resources to make their voices loud and their opinions heard. It enrages me that FCPS school board/admin hasn't figured this out yet.

Why would it require extensive “resources” to make your voice heard? You’re basically claiming that FCPS should have a free hand to do whatever it wants, yet many of the proposals of its outside consultants have been ludicrous on their face.

+1. That PP is blowing smoke. Families, rich and poor, don’t want to be moved. Doesn’t take a genius to see that.

Resources aren't just physical. It comes down to time and bandwidth to think and formulate a message. If you are poor and super stressed and just trying to get through each day, you don't have as much mental energy to think about who to contact and what to say to get your point across. You are oblivious if you don't understand this.

It doesn’t change the fact that you’re trying to marshal some invisible army of supporters for whatever it is you favor here, which you haven’t even bothered to identify, by attempting to discredit those who actually take the time to get involved.

You’re making a fool out of yourself by seething with resentment, yet no one can tell what you want, other than for others to be ignored.

Not really a great look.

The sooner the school board realizes that our kids are not a resource for them, the better off we’ll all be.

No, I'm not claiming that at all. I am saying FCPS should not assume that one small group of very loud people who have the time and money to create an advocacy organization out of the blue actually represents an entire community. Some of us have jobs and we don't have the network of some of these pro-Oakton moms (IYKYK) so we couldn't do that. But that doesn't mean that they are the majority and represent everyone.

Excuse me? Who do you think you are? How do you know who is involved and who isn't? I can see past my own nose, look around, and notice that some parents/caregivers don't have the same type of free time and mental space to make websites and craft email messages and rally other parents to their cause. I know you are busy patting yourself on the back for having the time to do so, but you are not better than other people just because you have less going on in your life than they do. Their concerns are not less important than yours. You just have more free time on your hands and fewer fires to put out on a daily basis. But I know you don't care.

She was talking about the 4 maps they posted for the Western High School.

Who created the maps? Staff or THRU?

And why are they showing maps to the public and getting no people all upset if they are not vetted? I swear she just says things to get people to calm down in the moment. As soon as someone is freaking out about a change she’s all “don’t worry that’s just a super drafty draft” regardless of whether that’s true. The school board must be beyond frustrated with her because then they have to clean up her mess. She is just telling everyone what they want to hear while they’re in front of her. I wouldn’t trust anything she says at this point.

Why are they doing 7 revidions to the county wide rezoning maps, based on who complains the most on the previous map?

More like who has the biggest tantrum. Some of these grown adults should be ashamed of themselves.

💯 I can't believe the school board and Dr. Reid are so stupid that they think the people who make the biggest stink are actually the majority. They're not in most instances. In most instances, the majority of the school population is indifferent but the "active families" (meaning the wealthy ones) are the most vocal and have the resources to make their voices loud and their opinions heard. It enrages me that FCPS school board/admin hasn't figured this out yet.

Why would it require extensive “resources” to make your voice heard? You’re basically claiming that FCPS should have a free hand to do whatever it wants, yet many of the proposals of its outside consultants have been ludicrous on their face.

+1. That PP is blowing smoke. Families, rich and poor, don’t want to be moved. Doesn’t take a genius to see that.

Resources aren't just physical. It comes down to time and bandwidth to think and formulate a message. If you are poor and super stressed and just trying to get through each day, you don't have as much mental energy to think about who to contact and what to say to get your point across. You are oblivious if you don't understand this.

It doesn’t change the fact that you’re trying to marshal some invisible army of supporters for whatever it is you favor here, which you haven’t even bothered to identify, by attempting to discredit those who actually take the time to get involved.

Oh are you one of those PTO mommy martyrs? You are so amazing for being so involved! It has nothing to do with your need for control. You are so selfless!!

You’re making a fool out of yourself by seething with resentment, yet no one can tell what you want, other than for others to be ignored.

Not really a great look.

That...wasn't even me. Someone took over my thread. I wrote the 100% comment and nothing after that.

Hard to believe that Reid (who did not know about issues in Rt 1 corridor) is weighing in on boundaries and answering? questions.

Excuse me? Who do you think you are? How do you know who is involved and who isn't? I can see past my own nose, look around, and notice that some parents/caregivers don't have the same type of free time and mental space to make websites and craft email messages and rally other parents to their cause. I know you are busy patting yourself on the back for having the time to do so, but you are not better than other people just because you have less going on in your life than they do. Their concerns are not less important than yours. You just have more free time on your hands and fewer fires to put out on a daily basis. But I know you don't care.

I'm not sure why you're pretending to be me. I think we're in agreement but please stop pretending to be me.

You realize no one owns a thread right? When there are multiple anonymous posters no one actually knows who they’re responding to? Anyway if your wrote the 💯 comment we are in fact in agreement. No one is pretending to be you.
