[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you actually don't know the answer, I don't think you should be calling anyone stupid.

School assignments are closely connected to property values. If you paid a lot for a house in one zone, of course you would object to being rezoned in a way that devalues your house, which is likely your largest asset. It has nothing to do with what people would agree is best in the abstract, or with what is legally allowed. But you knew that.[/quote]

DP, I can understand why people have those preferences, but they are not entitled to maintain their zoning.  Too many people don’t see it that way, though.  I realize this is probably about FCPS and not APS, but I remember sitting in a meeting at Nottingham when APS was considering making that an option school and a dad whose block would have been rezoned to a slightly lower-performing school yelled about how he bought his house because it was zoned for Nottingham and the school board owed it to him to keep their “promise” that his family would stay there (there had been no such promise).  It was so embarrassing.[/quote]
