[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From another thread (on contacting the School Board): "Look, you and I are largely aligned ideologically, but I will never vote for a D in an FCPS SB election again. They hid their boundary review intentions during their campaigns, ignored their constituents to cram it through, and are hurrying the process to try to avoid blowback in 2027 (it won’t work). As much as I don’t want all the things that you mention might come with an R on the school board, I’d rather those than having the school board look at my kid as their resource to paper over a poor performing school. All the R stuff I can discuss and contextualize with my kid. I can’t discuss away them having to leave their friends and have a significantly [b]altered education because the school board felt the need to pick winners and losers based on zip code[/b].[/quote]" [color=red]This is the evidence of people fearing being zoned to the high ESL population schools.[/color][/quote] I wrote that, and you are absolutely wrong. [b]You want the county to engage in a grand social experiment using our kids as your lab rats[/b]. It’s quite clear from the community feedback to date that you are in the minority when it comes to believing that kids should be moved to satisfy your quota. But don’t take my word for it, look at the status of the Democratic brand in our country. You’re turning off a ton of moderates with your ill-informed posts.[/quote] But why is it such a grand social experiment? Ask yourself that? How did FCPS get to the point where people are so fearful of attending certain schools? It is because the schools have become very different - because immigration was uncontrolled due to bad policy and lack of enforcement. And those students have ended up concentrated in certain schools. These are the facts.[/quote]
