Anyway with so much growth in Tysons and nearby areas they may need to move more kids to Langley at some point and the difference now is that Herndon has more space if they need to move kids there.

Nope the assertion back then was that she changed her website to get elected and that once in, she would be all in on the “comprehend review of the boundaries.”

Didn’t happen.

It could be, just might be that the boundaries didn’t need a massive overhaul.

You’re just making stuff up.

The grocery stores have large bags of ice.
Pick one up to soothe your butthurt.

That’s funny because the biggest butthurt on the forum is Langley posters getting so worked up whenever the mere possibility that their school might be part of a future boundary discussion is mentioned.

Why would they be irritated when they supposedly get what they want all the time?

When you know the system has been rigged in your favor in the past, it gives rise to both a sense of entitlement and considerable insecurity.

Next question.

When you get what you want every single time you are challenged, you are actually quite secure.

You should probably get two bags of ice.

The thing is that you don’t get everything you want, just most of what you want, and yet you still are insecure AF.

Gatehouse should make the best use of facilities, giving weight to efficiency and budget.
If the Langley boundaries change due to that then whatever.

The Langley boundaries may well need to change in a few years based on capacity and logistical issues, but if that happens they'll still claim it's being done to "punish" them. Hopefully with Robyn Lady representing the district rather than Elaine Tholen, decisions will be based on the merits and not just a desire to place Langley's interests over everyone else's.

“still?”
Where/when did Langley parents protest possible boundary changes with the argument that the school board wanted to punish them for something?

As to hoping the latest Dranesville rep will advocate for boundaries based on the merits of different options (which will apparently be demonstrated only if she wants to alter boundaries in a way that you desire)
—- I am old enough to remember all the crowing about Jane Strauss not being around to “protect” the Langley boundaries anymore after Elaine was elected, and we see how that worked out for people emotionally invested in some drastic change.

+100
There is no rational discussion to be had with the PP, who continues to rant about schools which her children don’t even attend. Interesting how she’ll never disclose where her kids actually do go to school.

+1. Her social engineering crusade is truly pathetic at this point. She is likely as insufferable in real life as she is on this forum.

Are you sock puppeting or do all these Langley posters sound EXACTLY the same?

I mean people will point out that changes should only be made, if at all, if needed based on capacity and logistics, and you'll still flail away about "social engineering."

Report the post and claim it’s a sock puppet post. It’s not, but you can see for yourself that I’m a DP when the admin doesn’t remove it. On the other hand, I’m quite certain that you are a one woman social engineering crusader.

Honest question - do you think "social engineering" means anything that might run counter to the wishes of a Langley family? Because there may be valid reasons to move kids in and out of Langley at some point that bear no resemblance to what "social engineering" generally is understood to connote.

Perhaps, but her posts are of one flavor - to soak the “rich” Forestville families. She’s got a real chip on her shoulder about it, especially since, as the board member recently pointed out, redistricting is bad for all involved, especially poor students. Her hatred of Forestville is just that great, that she’d be willing to hurt Herndon students to stick it to Forestville.

I am in favor of doing everything we can to improve schools, but it really feels like a paternalistic “savior” move to do what she advocates.

Except multiple posters have said Forestville should only move if there’s a compelling logistical need to move it and you keep claiming we’re all the same poster with a “social engineering” agenda. It’s just very odd.

Any suggestion that has a whiff of possibly affecting certain schools in certain ways is labeled social engineering around here — even before the renovations over the past few years occurred. It is sad. Just wait until next year when standards based grading is applied to all schools.

What’s sad about it? Parents should advocate for their kids. I’d take that any day of the week over someone who wants to upend the apple cart based on some vague misguided sense of social justice.

And deep down most people on this board know they would feel the exact same way if it were their kids’ educations on the line.

Whoa. That is quite the accusation about another FCPS school. You should see your therapist. That is next level overreacting.

I know, right? It’s like I have this obsession with trying to screw over other people’s kids. It’s really next level f-ed up. I pretend to care about poor people, but I really just hate a subset of our county that I believe has money.

It’s infuriating, I just can’t sleep at night, it tears me apart. I seethe.

Oh wait, that’s you, the paternalistic social engineer looking to have Forestville kids play savior for other people’s kids.

It turns out that wanting what’s best for one’s child is typically not grounds to see a therapist. You however, sweetie, should consider it.

Actually, you are a flat out racist. I’m not even sure you have a child in school.

Hi pot, I’m kettle!

At least I’m not overtly railing against non native English speakers in this board like some pretend SJWs.

Agreed. It’s like some posters are only capable of a knee-jerk reaction or aren’t very familiar with the English language. If anything potentially interferes with their expectations, it’s “social engineering.”

Sorry, just want to point out the blatant hypocrisy that comes with someone purportedly advocating for redistricting to paternalistically help Herndon High while also mocking posters because she feels that they don’t have a grasp of the English language. Bless your cognitive dissonance.

Bless your straw-man arguments. Or is that “social engineering” as well?

You have to be short on both imagination and common sense to think that attacking everything you disagree with as “social engineering” is going to carry the day.

Ah, yes, my apologies for defending non-native English speakers against your blatant racism. The record is quite clear what you meant from your post above. Hypocrite in every sense of the word - pretending to care about Herndon High while denigrating is students.

The hypocrisy is anyone (but especially Forestville parents) hyperventilating about the prospect of ever being reassigned to Herndon pretending to give a rat’s ass about non-native English speakers.

However, a pro tip for any English speakers, regardless of their level of fluency, is that “social engineering” does not mean everything that you personally happen to disfavor.

Doubling down on your racism. Not a good look, lady.

“For those of you that don’t speak English well, get out of my country!” -you, the hypocritical social engineer

If some non-native speaker thinks “social engineering” means everything they personally dislike, consider it a teaching moment.

Otherwise, get a grip. There’s no bigger group of overt racists in the county than Langley families when it comes to the Hispanic population at Herndon.

Yawn. If you want to come up with arguments why Langley alone should be uniquely excluded from future FCPS boundary studies in perpetuity, you’re going to have to come up with something better than this nonsense.

Your buffoonery just compounds. Not only do you call everything “social engineering,” but you can’t even keep posters straight.

But please tell me why ridiculing non native English speakers isn’t racist? Seems like a threshold question for the social engineer.

For the unfamiliar, here is a reminder from FCPS:

"Please note that school boundaries are reevaluated each year and may be adjusted by the School Board; therefore, school boundary information is provided for the current school year only. FCPS provides no guarantee that any residential address will continually be served by the same elementary, middle and/or high school(s) or AAP center(s). Any boundary adjustment will be discussed and decided through a transparent process with the appropriate stakeholders, in accordance with School Board Policies and Regulations."

It appears they want to adopt a clearer official boundary policy and then ask staff to come up with sensible recommendations on a county-wide basis. That doesn't mean they'd change all the boundaries, but only that staff would present a comprehensive set of recommendations. That was routine in FCPS for decades - staff would make annual recommendations to the School Board and then the board would typically adopt the recommendations, sometimes with minor revisions. That's quite different from what's happened more recently, where School Board members have either been the main proponent of a boundary study or substituted their own judgment entirely for the staff recommendation.

I think it is important to call out racists when they post, especially when they masquerade as being an ally to the downtrodden by advocating for redistricting. We can’t let racism slide in our society. I won’t tolerate it.

How is suggesting separating Langley from the Dranesville District an issue? I’m exhausted by the entitlement of some of those parents. I resent the fact that they think going to HHS will be a detriment to their children. What a load of crock. I want Langley out of our region, so that we can focus on education and not property values.
