[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief. Let FCPS actually start a boundary study and identify different options.  After hearing about the Langley parents who protested at a School Board meeting because they are terrified of their kids having to interact with Herndon kids, we have little interest in sending our kids there, but [b] let the chips fall where they may.  [/b]The lobbying about who should move is premature and distasteful. [/quote]

Not everyone is so complacent.

Some people like to have a say in matters that affect them and their children.  If you are content to simply let life happen to you, that is your choice. [/quote]

So you think repeatedly expressing your own personal preference as to which neighborhoods get moved into (or perhaps out of) your school on an anonymous message board is really going to move the needle, when there isn’t even a timeline for a boundary study yet?

I guess my neighbors and I just have a different approach to advocacy.

According to your own words you don't advocate. You "let the chips fall where they may."

First you criticized Langley parents advocating for what they perceive as their best interests because you like to chill.

When it is pointed out to you that such an attitude is  not good life strategy,  you attempt to deflect by making the baseless statement that my advocacy is limited to message board conversations.

I do hope for your sake that your neighbors do, in fact, have some ideas about the best ways to advocate.  Maybe they take a longer view than you do and can think more than half a step ahead.[/quote]

I think you’re reading too much into the phrase - all that was meant was it will be decided in due course (that is, after an actual study where multiple options are presented and discussed).

Are you really this disagreeable about everything? 
[/quote]

Yes, we know. People shouldn't get exercised about things until it's too late to affect the outcome.   Let the chips fall where they may, it will all be decided (for you) in due course, just relax, and deal with it later.[/quote]
