[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous].6 mile walk from the corner of Columbia Pike and George Mason to Barcroft elementary school. 
It would involve employing a crossing guard I believe, or possibly moving one. I think there is a guard at George Mason and Four Mile.
The same starting point to Randolph elementary is approximately .4 miles.

Give it up.  It's less than .4 mile because of the paths going up from Doctor's Run directly to the school.  George Mason is busy but they are not crossing at as busy of a point.  Barcroft  has enough space that plenty of those families could already send their kids there if they wanted to.  They don't want that.  They want Randolph.  What they want matters too.

I don’t think it’s that deep. It’s largely a transient population. They move in and register. Six to one half a dozen to another. Light years better than what their children would have had in their home countries, which is a wonderful thing. 
But I believe I’ve made it very clear how small  the difference in distance we are talking about. I will not give it up. It’s too important. I suspect you are hoping to be moved from Alcova to the new school. That’s a nice idea. Good luck.[/quote]

Actually I'm a current Randolph parent and my child has at least one friend who lives in the part of the complex you are  referring to.  [/quote]

That’s wonderful. I’m sure they would continue to be friends if boundaries are shifted. Your kid would have the opportunity to meet other kids as well. [/quote]
