[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a few years when Langley will be overenrolled because they moved McLean kids to Langley, and Herndon will be underenrolled due the renovations they are planning. This is all silly to argue about now.[/quote]

Insider here. Not true, though they probably should move McLean and Marshall feeders to Langley. Herndon will look a lot like Justice. When you look at elementary projections, the schools even with an addition will likely be a few hundred over capacity (and we are talking about 2,600 kids here at capacity).

I am giving up on this thread. People want to complain and dicker about Langley but the problem is much bigger. It's not as bad as Arlington (though I work with people who worked there and had horror stories), but if that is what people want, there isn't much for someone like me who works in a cubicle analyzing population data and putting them into spreadsheets is going to do to convince you all that you're short sighted, you're wrong and you are probably hurting your own children because these huge schools, while they provide some benefits) are problematic on many levels.

Continue fighting about nonsense...[/quote]

NP here.

I actually love spreadsheets. I love data. I would love to see numbers.

Personally, I think that a lot of parents think that they are making their kids education great in their homogenous schools. But study after study shows diversity increases brain activity and creativity.

So show the numbers.  Or point us to the data.  It’s better than all of the other hot air here. [/quote]
