[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are great.  They are taught by excellent teachers.  They are supported by an active parent community and PTA.  Many parents have no idea who is center and who is gen. ed.  In a school that big, your kid will not know all the kids anyway, so they know their classmates, whoever they might be.  
The whole school benefits from the resources and energy brought by the center.

Being in the center is not elitist or a badge of honor.  It is just a placement to serve a need.

I feel there is a very small, but very vocal group of non-center parents who spread the rumor that non-center kids are stigmatized at Haycock.

By the way, Haycock is not the only center and neighborhood school.  This is a well-established system in FCPS.[/quote]
Well put. My kids love it and have friends in the "center" at Haycock. They all eat lunch together, have recess together, strings, chorus, after school care. Our kids like their friends and love the school. Happy. I feel like its just another post to stir up the pot. I've NEVER heard of anyone questioning moving OUT of the boundary. Hence the suspicion of the post.[/quote]

Do you really find it unfathomable that someone would want to move out of the Haycock district so you resort to calling the OP a troll?[/quote]

I didn't see the other poster call you a troll, but if the shoe fits....

Haycock is one of the top elementary schools in the DC region.  People go out of their way to live in the district, and the vast majority of parents and students are very happy.  When FCPS raised reassignments for Haycock, virtually no one volunteered to move.  They clamored to stay.

If you don't like it, don't send your kids there or move.  I can guarantee you that your absence will NOT be deeply felt.[/quote]
