[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just watched the community comments. Can someone explain why that Candle lady said her kid has to cross 50 to get to Western? Literally NOWHERE in the Crossfield boundaries has to cross 50 to get there. That lady sounded insane!![/quote]

That confused me, as well.  But, I think I was more focused on the fact that her younger child could not ride in the car to Oakton with her older child.  
Wonder how her child gets to Carson?

I think that was in reference to the possibility that younger siblings may have to attend Western if their home ends up in boundary, even if they have an older sibling who opts out. Hence why these Crossfield moms are fighting it, several have a middle school and a late elementary schooler right now.

I think there are valid arguments to avoid Western, but traffic/crossing big roads is most certainly not one of them considering what you have to do to get from the Crossfield area to Oakton. If your teen isn't on 66 they are on back roads which might actually be worse. [/quote]

Right but both Crossfield parents who spoke at the school board meeting mentioned traffic, and it's seriously a joke. I have a middle schooler at Carson. It takes me literally LESS time to get to Carson than it takes me to get to Crossfield. I don't understand how these people think anyone can take them seriously if they are complaining about traffic on the way to Carson/Western. Even the people in Folkstone or the horse neighborhood have just one more light than the rest of us, and West Ox/Lawyers is NOT a busy road. [/quote]
The only people I can back, by the way, are the FMW people who want to stay at South Lakes. OF course they should stay there.[/quote]
