[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come no one is taking the Oakton Middle School idea seriously?[/quote]

This has been explained ad nauseum. :roll:

1. There is not a need for another middle school. There is capacity availability in existing middle schools.

2. Despite the feelings of the RIO crowd, Oakton-bound students are not any more special than any other students in FCPS. That seems to be a difficult concept for the RIO group in particular. [/quote]Crossfield and Navy Island stay Carson-Western.

I am a Waples Mill mom who finds the commute to Franklin challenging. We are the largest contributor to Oakton in terms of Students going into it!

I have spoken to Oakton Bound Navy ES Moms (excluding those in Franklin Farm), Oakton ES Moms (those not zoned to Madison), Mosaic ES Moms, and Marshall Road Moms (those not zoned for Madison) who I have gotten to see my point, and they agree.

Those Thoreau Zoned Moms have a 10 years remorse for invading Thoreau and cutting into the sanctity of Vienna, and the other Franklin Moms hate it there!

We reject the Crossfield and Navy Island Moms because we find them illegitimate since they live in Herndon, and we don’t need them to be successful as a high school pyramid.

They can move![/quote]

If this isn’t a troll, this has to be the craziest post I’ve seen in awhile [/quote]No.

I am one of these Mosaic Mothers who lives right next to Oakton, and I believe that while we are closer to Thoreau, we do need our own middle school.

We are different from the Madison/Marshall community at Thoreau, and Oakton ES parents in the Oakton pyramid long agree with this.

So when we met with Waples Mill parents who felt isolated from the rest of franklin, and slightly more aligned with us, and some Navy parents (ones not in Franklin Farm of Chantilly Bound), we learned that Franklin does not bother them entirely, but that having an Oakton exclusive middle school would be a luxury.

Then we showed them why it was necessary, and they got on board.[/quote]

This is the same writing style as the post above. So are you a Waples Mill or a Mosaic mom? [/quote]
