[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the parents of older elementary school students at Crossfield think of Oakton as an elite school. That's why. [/quote]
The loudest ones don't even have kids at Crossfield anymore.  Their kids are 7th and 8th graders.[/quote]

Yup, I believer the leader of the group is a middle school parent.[/quote]

Yeah, I think we all know who that is. Feels like this has more to do with keeping their kid in the spotlight at a big-name sports school than what’s best for Crossfield.[/quote]

100%

What I find interesting through is that with the new high school, their kid has a chance to be the star of the show whereas at Oakton they'll just be average.[/quote]

I've repeated this before on these threads:

I was in the second graduating class of a school.  When I was in tenth grade, we only had eleventh grade.  The year before, the school only went to tenth grade.  
We had a mediocre football team, but the "star" was recruited to play in a prestigious D1 school.  He went on to play pro football and win two Championship Super Bowl rings as a starter-and, I think, one Super Bowl loss.  So, being a standout can make a difference on any team.
Coaches are aware of that.[/quote]
