[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not being discussed on DCUM because typically anything that happens in Falls Church City is not big news here. FCC residents prefer to chat among themselves rather than air their dirty laundry on DCUM, apparently.[/quote]

Totally agree--FCC resident here and believe me this is the first I am hearing about this---so not only can you not get any info on DCUM, you really do not get much info from the school website and the "moms" are mum.
We are looking to move out. [/quote]

Maybe you just need to hang out with more talkative people? The emails from the MS and HS principals went out mid-day Friday. Since then, I’ve heard it thoroughly discussed at pickup at TJ, at weekend sports events, at the pool, on various neighborhood and community FB groups, and just in passing with neighbors. The local news even set up in the Giant parking lot, soliciting interviews. I guarantee no one’s trying to hide anything.[/quote]

That's exactly what I am talking about.  It is being discussed thoroughly at Giant, at TJ, etc, and the news stations are covering it, gradually all of them.  But...on DCUM...crickets.  Typical.  FCC is a closed society.[/quote]

Most of those in-person discussions i referenced above were about how we as parents can talk to our kids, educate them about the dangers of doing something this stupid\hurtful, work with the schools on technology issues, etc. Basically, how to make this a constructive learning experience.

DCUM immediately went to the effect on FCCPS' Great Schools ranking.

It's not that residents are closing ranks. It's that our priorities are different. [/quote]
