[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Lorton Station the school that hosted the Hagel Circle kids for a year or two?

If so, that is where they should go, not Halley or Gunston.[/quote]

Yup, it’s also the only school where the Hagel Circle kids can walk too. [/quote]

Why would that be so crucial, to be able to walk when a lot of Fairfax county students cannot walk to school. There is a bus for that reason and if they miss the bus, they have parents who drive. [b]Most Lorton residents have cars in order to live in this area. [/b]

You know the real reason why you don’t want Hagel Circle part of Gunston…. I was there on the 22nd Of October. Discrimination 100% based on their socio-economic status and their demographics. [/quote]

Your privilege is showing.  Many families along the Rt. 1 corridor (yes, Hagel Circle is right off of Rt. 1) do not have reliable transportation - maybe the family only has one vehicle and that parent is unable to do drop off/pick up because of their work schedule and the bell schedule.  The bus that runs along Rt. 1 is always full of people catching it to go and up down the highway for groceries, shopping.  There is a grocery store (Food Lion) 1.2 miles from the complex.  People along the corridor routinely walk a mile or more to shop/go to work/go to school.  During the workday, you see countless women (usually women) with babies/toddlers walking up and down Rt. 1 carrying grocery bags.  Yes, Hagel Circle is further away from most of the retail on Rt. 1 but the housing prices are significantly less than further north in the Mount Vernon area (another area full of low income families.).
