[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it with some white people and “community” schools?[/quote]

It’s not just white people who prefer community schools.  A black family in Louisville sued the Jefferson County schools because their child wasn’t able to attend the high school in their neighborhood under that county’s school assignment plan.  Locally, in FCPS, there were a lot families - by no means all white - who were unhappy at first that FCPS reassigned them to Oakton when Chantilly was closer.

This area is very congested.  If you can live near your kids’ schools, it is way more convenient for both you and your kids.[/quote]

Unless you are Langley and then you only argue about commute when you ask for a closure of an interstate exit to allow your children to ride home between school and afterschool verses being reassigned to a closer high school. I find it funny that Langley parents argued for their own redistricting through the Georgetown Pike closure. Takes One Fairfax partly out of the equation and shows they aren't as smart as they say they are.[/quote]
