[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school will still be overcrowded next year.  [b]The parents who were the most vocal in the zoning fight were clear they only cared about getting poor/minority kids OUT of their school.  So while FARMS will be reduced, classrooms will still be overcrowded and classes will still be held in trailers (oops, I mean "portables").[/b]

The principal is neither good nor bad.  She simply repeats what MCPS tells her to say, and nothing more.  She knows most of the kids by name, but is not an overly caring or sympathetic person.  She does make personal phone calls to parents when kids are in trouble.  She has not made much effort to address the issues of bullying at recess -- simply says more parents need to volunteer during recess time, which is not encouraging or helpful to a household where both parents (or the single parent) are working professionals.

Not sure why PP said there is no time for specials.  Kids go to specials 4 days a week: music, media/library, art, gym.[/quote]

With large reduction of kids, why it will be still over crowded? If you are talking about the next year, then that's just for one year. [b]Also, there is nothing wrong in asking to keep FARMS rate down. It's simply a reflection of neighborhood.[/b][/quote]

Why don't you just build a wall just to be safe. [/quote]

RP school has the same FARMS rate as nearby area. What's wrong with that?[/quote]
