[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have more respect for the TJAAG group types if they acknowledged that the changes Brabrand has foisted on TJ in a rushed manner are going to exacerbate the existing overcrowding at high schools like Chantilly, Oakton, and McLean.

They talk about equity all the time, but they wear their own brand of elitism on their sleeves.  TJ is the only school that matters to them. If other schools now end up packing kids into hallways like sardines, that's fine with them, and doesn't merit any acknowledgment, as long as there are some more Black and Hispanic kids at TJ that FCPS's PR department can photograph and slap on their web page.

Overcrowding is a significant issue, but to address the overcrowding across all those pyramids affected would require a large-scale, county-wide adjustment of boundaries. Schools like Lewis and Mt Vernon are so under-enrolled that they could fit about 800+ new students to bring them to full capacity. So the question is... does the same group that doesn't want Oakton to be packed also want to go through a boundary change that could potentially take their kids to Fairfax HS or Falls Church HS?[/quote]

THIS - and the answer is hell no, we won't go.
