[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to run away. You can't fix it on the timetable that your kids are in elementary. It takes you til about grade 1 or 2  to realize that they are not getting what they need and then you only have 3 more years before they go to middle. So you leave.[/quote]

But if you leave, no one holds the schools to account. The problems ignored because people will just leave. It seems odd to me because most of my neighbors have stayed. So go choice, but more are going to Randolph and Barcroft.

Demand more. You're already paying for it.[/quote]

What, specifically, would you demand? Boundary changes that bring in a large UMC cohort is all that matters.[/quote]

Or eliminate the option schools so people can't flee.[/quote]

For the umpteenth time! You can't force people to attend a school! All schools are choice schools. Without option schools people will just move or go private. They already do![/quote]

Sure, some people will do that. They'll enjoy their 2 hour commutes from Leesburg. There's an extreme shortage of reasonably priced homes with good commutes to downtown. Most of us want to see our children and not spend our lives in the car.[/quote]
