[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads inevitably devolve into the same effort by one or a handful of posters to invent ways to stick it to Great Falls under the guise of sending Great Falls kids to a more convenient school. I don’t really get the point of it. If you look at a map, none of the FCPS high schools (or middle schools) is convenient to Great Falls. Herndon and Langley are about equidistant — Herndon is a bit closer for those in the western part of Great Falls and Langley is a bit closer for those in the eastern part. But here’s the rub: those students all go to Langley now and Langley is well under capacity. There are lots of high schools, mostly in the western part of the county that are well over capacity. Moving kids from Langley — especially kids who want to be at Langley — should be the least of FCPS’s priorities.

The whole argument makes no sense. Here is what makes perfect sense: if you have kids who don’t live near any high school, you send them to the school that has the most capacity take them. For Great Falls, that’s Langley.

Here is what’s not going to happen: wholesale redistricting. All that would accomplish is getting the entire school board replaced in the next election. [/quote]

FINALLY - a poster with common sense and no axe to grind.  Very refreshing.[/quote]
