[quote=Anonymous]And you are the same person who posted on the real estate section. There are too many poor kids at Barcroft now. Classrooms are on the computer lab, library etc because the over 70 kids that just showed up in September from the new dinwiddie development. You think your kid is learning? Maybe yours are special. Almost every parent I have spoken to at Barcroft says that unless their kid is in the gifted program, their kid is lost. The entire focus of the school is on the lower income kids. I learned that from the principal, hence my child does not go there. Obviously no one can change what has happened, but we must not let it get worse.

And by then way, what do you think will happen when a new elementary school is built at TJ? It will be built there and some one on the school board said it will be a neighborhood school. The scoop I hear is that the new boundaries will be at George mason so that the nice single family homes east of there be taken out of Barcroft and leave more space for more affordable housing in the westen pike. Yes, so the demographics at Barcroft will get WORSE.

Congrats to you and your altruism. MANY people disagree and will fight this, for our kids education and our property values. Yes, the count.[/quote]
