[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the county taxes people at the same rate, therefore people pay the same into the educational system, why should Haycocks be different than other elementary schools? Why should this diffetentiation be offered there and not elsewhere? Why should the county go out of its way to retain these teachers at Haycock and not make them available in other schools?

Haycock is not accessible to families outside of the attendance zone, so why should all these resources go to it? The parents that want such special learning can elect private schools, like other parents who do not like public education do! I'm not about not letting people have their way, but why should Haycock be privileged?

Any principal can implement the rotation at his/her elementary school level if needed. It was necessary at Haycock[b] because there are children who are very advanced in math and need special classes[/b]. Some of them go to Longfellow for middle school math while they are still in elementary school. Most of the teachers who leave go to N Arlington because it's close and the pay is better. The teachers can work where they want, this is not communist Russia.   [/quote]

[b]Is there something in the water in the Haycock boundary zone that makes special children who are very advanced in math and need "special" classes and treatment, more so than in any other elementary school in FCPS? [/quote][/b]

Haycock is a center school that feeds into Longfellow. Longfellow is one of the top feeders to TJ. Many families purposely buy/rent in Haycock for this reason. [/quote]
