[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't seem to be very concerned that the are already "concentrated" at Freedom Hill[/quote] FH is a larger school and the administration has addressed the needs of those students for years. The impact of moving them to Lemon Road, a smaller school that's had its own balance and already has a substantial number of kids living in Pimmit Hills who are non-native English speakers, is something that needs to be considered. In general, educators believe lower-income students fare better when they attend schools with substantial numbers of higher-income students. If FCPS doesn't approach this carefully, they will overwhelm Lemon Road with disadvantaged students who previously had attended different schools. Maybe you're at Freedom Hill and welcome the prospect of these students leaving? We could impugn each other's motives, but I don't think it's venal to ask FCPS to think this through and not automatically do what Dean Tistadt proposes.[/quote]
