[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just find it sad that families looking to move into this area are going to search "Crossfield" and come across all the nastiness on this thread. I hope they will know and understand it's only a select few people, almost all of whom will gone by 2027 that are acting like this. My kids are in younger grades and all of the parents that I've met have been really kind. It's just the older/Gen X parents that seem to be really snobby and competitive and they're aging out soon![/quote]

Sure, you don't want to be competitive, and your children would be outcompete by Chinese in China.  But at least you get to pick up your child in 10 minute so that's the most important thing. [/quote]

I see someone is hitting the Chardonnay tonight. [/quote]

China does prioritize education way more than we do. Unforutunately in a global economy, that is a boon for them, and a challenge for us.

We can't rest on our laurels forever.  If we ever let them import their EVs into the US, our auto industry is done and so the is our industrial base.[/quote]

And sending kids to Western HS will somehow lower their education?? Do you hear yourself?

We don’t want to be anything like communist China. The Chinese make their kids go to Saturday school. Their kids are so stressed out.

Feel free to move to China if you prefer their education system. [/quote]

All I am saying is we prefer education quality over bus commute.  That is a reasonable position.  Nothing to put down on Western HS, but it's an unknown with teachers, sports and activities (including STEM competition which is important in college application).   Bus commute is not a concern for crossfield parents.  So if you are not in crossfield, don't worry about us, we'll manage. [/quote]

Look, we all know who you are and you're not even a Crossfield parent. You are a Navy parent. If you wanted your kids to go to Oakton and Navy so bad, you should have bought a house in Navy boundaries instead of hoping and wishing your child would get into Crossfield AAP so you can send them to Navy. Anyway you are absolutely wrong. The vast majority of my neighbors want our kids to go to KAA instead of Oakton - the bus drive DOES matter for us. If you're not concerned about the commute then you can find a way to opt in to Oakton and drive your child there and back. But stop saying you represent all Crossfield families when we all know you represent a small subset of Asian families who send their kids to Navy AAP because you didn't even think the Crossfield AAP program was good enough for your kid.[/quote]
