[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great Falls kids are not being moved on any of the scenarios.  Why are they screaming?  I will say they seem to especially hate the purchase of KAA--and I think I know why.[/quote]

The Herndon address Langley families are well aware they should be zoned for Herndon, but they keep getting lucky.

BTW, we don’t want them at Herndon if they are going to have a bad attitude about being “forced” to mingle with the “families that don’t care about their kids’ education”.  [/quote]

They really and truly believe they are better than other people in the county because they spent a lot of money on a home. They accuse anyone who points out that their boundary map makes no sense of "coming after what they have". Meanwhile plenty of other people made much smarter decisions spending a lot of money on a home closer to their zoned high school. Personal responsibility only applies to poor people, not them.

It was also awful to hear Langley parents complain last night about the proposal to eliminate the Spring Hill split feeder and send the rest of the Spring Hill kids to Langley.  I’m sure the fact that those kids live in apartments and condos rather than expensive single-family houses had nothing to do with it.  [/quote]
I don’t think the fact that they live in apartments are e issue — some of those apartments are more expensive than my home and there are plenty of kids in the school (mine included) who live in small homes and drive crappy cars.  The issue is that there are a lot of students coming from them, which pushes the school to capacity and then makes western Great Falls more likely to be redistricted.[/quote]
It has the very same risk as what happened in WSHS. The housing units in Tysons are generally rented by people without kids. That’s why the Spring Hill ES growth has not ballooned the way the CIP has projected. There are other multi-family units in the McLean pyramid that are better for families. Now Spring Hill is becoming THE place for buyers looking to attend Langley. They’re adding 5500 housing units. [/quote]
