[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious - is there any other elementary schools in FCPS like Spring Hill where they send every single kid who lives in an apartment or condo to one high school and every single kid who lives in a single-family house to a wealthier high school?

I thought they were supposed to care about equity and diversity.  This is anything but - it's Elaine Tholen "cleaning up" boundaries so her own school gets richer and another school gets poorer.   Kathy Smith would be proud. [/quote]

I disagree that equity should overrule practicality. Especially since it is equity for the sake of the appearance of equity and not any actual benefit to anyone. Both schools are excellent and will continue to be excellent. People with children specifically move to those apartments so their kids can attend Longfellow and McLean.

So sick of talking about “equity,” as if a few (expensive!) apartments here and there makes any difference at all.  Such a stupid, trivial thing to obsess over.  [/quote]
