[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that sports are great.  I had one who did sports and one who did not.  People might be surprised to know that there are a lot of activities other than sports that are going to be negatively impacted by the new times.[/quote]

The new times shouldn't have a negative effect on extracurriculars. TJ runs from 8:30 to 3:50, with sports and many other extracurriculars starting about four and going till about six. Lots of very involved kids there, with long commutes to boot, and they manage to get it all done.

Honestly, I can't stand listening to the Chicken Littles who insist the sky is falling with every change FCPS implements.  Some of these changes are for the BETTER [b]for some people, but not all[/b].  [/quote][/quote]

Your key words being [b]for some people, but not all[/b]. 
However I believe Garza is cow-tailing to a loud mouth minority.  Not to mention spending frivolously with an already strapped budget.  What the heck did they pay Children's Hospital for their biased study, and, all the other hands from Fairfax county that touched the SURVEY?  All unnecessary.  [b]An honest to goodness democratic vote of those with school aged children would have solved the issue much cheaper and effectively.  It seems to me Garza is not listening to the [u]school aged kids[/u] parents and plowing ahead with whatever "bigger" plan she envisions.  I am not convinced she is "changing" in the right direction/areas[/b]![/quote]

Could be AAP you're talking about.  [/quote]
