[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The longer term solution is to reduce poverty in the Central Springfield area. If not, the poverty will expand west into West Springfield feeders (such as Cardinal Forest, Rolling Valley, and Keene Mill), east into Edison feeders, and south into South County feeders.

The Federal government must get control of our borders. Even if immigrants work hard and move up out of poverty, our current situation just allows more poverty to back fill in. There is a never ending supply of people who would like to be in the United States. We cannot take them all.[/quote]

You are a moron apparently. PP said Rolling Valley is basically a west Springfield feeder and Cardinal Forest would be moving to Lake Braddock.

Knee Mill is an AAP center that is essentially akin to Springfield Estates.

As someone who's on the other side of the county, I am popping popcorn for this drama.[/quote]

How am I a moron? I was making a statement about the expansion of poverty in the general Springfield area if it is not brought under control (if we don't stop importing poverty).

Rolling Valley is a West Springfield feeder. The homes in the Rolling Valley area are relatively inexpensive and it would be a logical next place for poorer immigrants to inhabit. Same goes for the apartments in the Cardinal Forest area and the relatively inexpensive homes in the Keene Mill neighborhoods (it is not AAP exclusively, but has regular students as well). Do you know where Cardinal Forest is? It is actually the closest elementary to West Springfield High School, so it will not likely be moved to Lake Braddock.[/quote]

You are dumb because you are a bigot. Almost all of these children are in this country legally. FWIW if you want to talk about undocumented minors, Justice High feeders seem to be impacted the most. Research has been done on this point.

The people who are immigrants in the Lee feeder are working class people who are in this country legally for the most part (although the county does have a pilot program for those students between 18-22 who are seeking a high school diploma and are an immigrant -- ya got me there). You seem much more worried about West Springfield turning into Herndon or South Lakes than you do about the idea PP is speaking about.

Who knows? Maybe your kids will get into that IB program, lol.[/quote]

You do realize the whole reason this conversation about closing Lee is happening is because the FCPS administrators at Gatehouse are concerned that the large ESOL population at Lee may cause the school to fail SOL tests several years in a row (partially because of new testing rules). So there should be concern about concentrating ESOL immigrants at particular schools - and if more and more ESOL students enroll in Fairfax will other schools eventually become problems as well? Mt. Vernon, Herndon, Annandale, Falls Church, Stuart, Lee - when does it become a problem to you? Not picking on any individual students, as I have witnessed some who achieved great things, but it becomes a game of numbers. Why do you think FCPS is planning on gaming the system to avoid oversight?[/quote]
