[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There are kids being bussed 14.5 miles to Langley. Surely that is its own form of "social engineering"?[/quote]

I think it was done initially to fill Langley.  Herndon was quite different at that time than it is now.

And, remember, when it was done, there was no Fairfax County Parkway.  Great Falls kids would have had to access Herndon High via Dranesville Road--which has since been widened in some spots--but not all.  I am not familiar with the roads in Great Falls to know how easy the commute would have been.

In any case, people get attached to their schools.  It is very disruptive to communities and families to change high schools.  If you have not been a parent of a high school kid, you might not understand that.

These areas used to attend Herndon.  They were moved to Langley when there was far less traffic coming from Loudoun, or on Routes 7 or 193.

From what I can tell, the disruption always falls on someone else's shoulders, never Langley.  [/quote]
