[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a normal market, people seek out the good they desire.  If a parent desires a smaller classroom size for their child, then why do they continue to segregate themselves into those school districts with more crowded classrooms.  It seems like the solution would be to move to those school districts with smaller class sizes.[/quote]
Many of the jobs are not located in these areas. Plus many people do not want to relocate. It costs a lot of money to sell and buy again and start over just because FCPS has increased their class sizes over the past 5 years. Why isn't all of Fairfax though excellent? That's what FCPS says, so people move into areas deemed great and then are underwhelmed. Plus FCPS does not want people driving all over the place. Traffic is a mess already. Why ask for more businesses to come to Tysons if you are not willing to fund the schools there?[/quote]

Actually if FCPS wants to see these schools get better, what they really need to do is zone the land for better quality buildings and entice businesses to move near those schools. And they need to enforce their own zoning laws. Letting people illegally cram into apartment complexes isn't helping the schools for those complexes at all. People see them as dangerous areas and stay away.[/quote]
