I feel like there is a lot of hate for Langley. I’m not really sure why.

I don’t go hating Potomac or Chevy chase. I don’t know much about them besides a lot of wealthy people live there that I don’t know.[/quote]

Langley is below 2% FARMS— their FARMS numbers are  even lower than TJ. But.  The SB ignores that while blowing TJ up to get more poor kids in.  And the GF a parents go to absurd lengths to make certain that no poors are zoned for their kids’ school. Lawsuits, SB recalls, trying to incorporate GFs. Etc. Etc. They are terrified their kids might have to attend a public school that’s is 10% free and reduced lunch. It’s just gross. [/quote]

DP.  And so your solution is busing kids into the area, for "diversity"?  Sorry.  This isn't the 70s anymore.  [/quote]

Oh that's hilarious. Do you even realize your hypocrisy? Do you genuinely deny that kids from the furthest northwestern part of the county are being bussed to Langley? Of course, it's not "bussing" when it's in your favor.[/quote]

Those boundaries were changed back in the nineties due to capacity issues.  No one cared because the schools involved were very majority white and middle class. People only cry about the Langley boundaries now because they think their own schools are TOO  “diverse.”[/quote]

You must be quite delightful in real life.

People point out that Langley, unique among the high schools in FCPS, has boundaries that get drawn and then redrawn to only include wealthy areas, due to rich people throwing their money around and coercing School Board members. [/quote]
