[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Speaking of naivety, only an idiot would believe ACPS would shit upon the families most active in their kid's education (eg parents of admin transfers) [/quote]

What are you talking about?  At the better-regarded ACPS schools, the parents of kids with admin transfers are no more active in their kids' education than the affluent parents who actually live in the attendance zone.[/quote]

My point is that the population of kids described in the OP-  kids under transfers, but now rezoned- account, for something infinitesimally small. I know that at my kid's school there are [i]seven[/i] in the entire school. [i]Seven[/i]

Is that an amount that should make entire families uproot lives and start over somewhere else? Not in most people's opinion.

Even at the smallest schools in the system that number is smaller than the fluctuation in student population one would experience just through home sales in the attendance zone.

That's [b]yet another way the SB was short sighted[/b]. They made decisions that really don't alter the system at all but have huge impacts on families. They should have originally fully grandfathered everyone currently enrolled. Worst case scenario would be 20-30 kids attending the 'wrong' school for 5 years. [b]Here we are year three into the redistricting process and they don't even have the new school yet.  But GD it, we gotta get rid of those seven kids[/b]!!!

Imbecilic.

I'd bet they delay implementation yet another year if I had to guess.[/quote]

This has nothing to do with actual school assignments.  This is the school board trying to scare the population (overcrowding! safety! elimination of transfers!) into supporting their ridiculous expansion plan.  And it's working.  [/quote]

Wait until they realize how many of the 'wealthy, white kids' theyre trying to force into JH (to finally get accreditation, off their backs) have an MD in the family who is more than happy to diagnose the kid with a disorder that JH isn't capable of dealing with. Viola! Instant transfer.

The SB would do better remembering who they are (public servants with shitty diplomas from VT) and stop fighting the taxpayers with JD/MD degrees from Stanford. They'll never 'beat' them. And theyre wasting all of our dollars in an ego tug of war.[/quote]

Wow. You really went there, huh?  Feel better now?  If not, please check your privilege.[/quote]
