Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)

Lots of Langley people here threaten that their status will be shared or taken away.
Which is a fair concern. They paid for their houses and it sucks to be re-districted. But it's also really crappy to hate on people for wanting the same quality schools for their own kids. |
I want high quality schools for all FCPS kids, but I just find it so revolting that people get so amped up wanting to stick it to Forestville students. |
DP, but not much sympathy for the argument that it’s “sticking it” to Forestville kids if they attend schools significantly closer to their homes. They only ended up at Cooper and Langley because the Herndon schools were overcrowded 30 years ago, and now they have capacity again. People typically want to stay put, but if anything is “revolting” it’s how some posters act like boundary changes that might affect Langley are punitive, but a matter of necessity and efficiency for everyone else. |
Who is talking about everyone else? I just care about my kids and their education. I don’t give two hoots about where your kids go, and I’m assuming you chose where to live based on where you want them to go, right? |
So posters tell you where their kids go or will go, and you’ll decide their “motives” from that data point? That’s exactly why we have no interest in engaging with you on your terms. |
Then don’t. That’s fine. I’m here to call out the blatant hypocrisy that exists in your argument. I’ll ask it again, will you tell us where your kids go? Didn’t think so. |
“I just care about me and I don’t care about anyone else at all, unless I’ve convinced myself that an entirely rational decision made in the ordinary course of administering a $3B school system that might affect them somehow threatens me.” |
Sputter away. |
No but I’ll fight for my kids, just like I’m assuming you would for yours. Or maybe you wouldn’t… |
Crickets on your kids school. So incredibly surprising. |
No one here answers to you, even if you pretend everyone else is the hired help. |
Deflect away. You won’t answer a simple question. What a hypocrite. |
Very much so. And constantly trying to silence people who’d like to see money efficiently spent, resources effectively used, and other schools not go down the toilet. |
This was already addressed earlier. |
But she’ll parrot it until the cows come home. She’s a meddler. |
