[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crossfield/Carson moms freaking out about a meeting apparently being held with 8th graders about the new high school. Are their kids so fragile that they can’t hear about the possibility of there being a new school that some kids might choose to attend? Afraid their kids will actually want to go there? I’m baffled by the freakout. 8th graders from all over the country make choices along with their parents about where to attend high school in areas with they have school choice or if they attend a private/Catholic school. They are old enough to weigh pros and cons and talk with parents about their choices. Why are we acting like kids can’t handle anything that might be stressful for them? If this is their biggest concern I’d say life is pretty cushy. [/quote]

OMG the Facebook page is HILARIOUS. I think this is smart - we shouldn't shelter the kids from the great choices available to them.[/quote]

What page??[/quote]
The Crossfield PTO president and her friends (all of whom have kids in AAP, surprise, surprise) started Rooted in Oakton and an accompanying Facebook group. It's mostly them and their friends. Or people they think are their friends, LOL.[/quote]

I know someone in that whole Crossfield PTO circle, and this is exactly what people are describing. She lives through her daughter’s sports that the constant play-by-play updates are honestly nauseating. Like… give it a break. And if you’re on the sidelines with her, she’ll talk down about other kids who aren’t at her daughter’s level, which is just exhausting. So the freakout over the new high school? Makes zero sense. These families live a couple miles from Western and could actually help make the programs there including sports amazing from day one. Acting like mentioning another school option will emotionally shatter their kids is ridiculous. They could be part of building something great, but instead it’s drama for no reason.[/quote]
