[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the discipline in this school? I heard that no lunch assistants can work long there because they couldn't handle the 5th and 6th graders during lunch time. [/quote]

Interesting that, over on Great Schools, amidst many positive reviews of Haycock, is the following diatribe posted last month:

"Greatschools says Haycock has 677 enrolled. That's wrong. Actual enrollment now is 858. The school's capacity is 570. The entire 5th & 6th grade classes are spent in trailers. Current 1st grade classes have 28 kids with no teaching assistant. Next year they'll have 30+ kids in the 1st grade classes. Haycock will easily be 300+ over capacity next year. In a couple years it'll also be a live construction zone. Public schools all over Northern VA have been pushed beyond the capacity of their old, un-renovated facilities. As well the key to Haycock's perceived greatness has been that it is an AAP (gifted and talented) hub. Fairfax Public Schools has recently implemented a plan to have all schools in the McLean HS feeder triangle utilize the AAP curriculum. FCPS has to do this because of the overcrowding at Haycock. Haycock will no longer be unique for its AAP hub. Many parents will swear that Haycock is the best blindly ignoring the school being 50% over capacity and that their kids spend most of their days in modular trailers. You should Google Haycock overcrowding & do your own research."

Want to bet the same poster isn't responsible for the criticisms of Haycock on this thread?  She should just say what her real beef is with the school, and stop pretending it's about modulars or lunch assistants.  [/quote]
