If the parents are concerned about this, they don't live that far apart.  None of the affected kids can live more than 15 minutes drive time apart from each other.

It's a tough situation, and it's unfortunate that it has turned into a parent v. parent thing, when the real problem, as usual, is with the administrators and politicians that can't discern demographic trends until they are  run over by them.

It sucks for the parents who will move their kids to a third school in 3 years.  It would have sucked for the parents, like me, who walk their kids to school in the morning from their homes four blocks away.  There simply was never going to be a pain-free outcome.

Look, this is going to sound trite, but I can't solve the problems Cluster 2 parents are dealing with as a result of failed political leadership any more than I can solve the problems in Greece, or Florida, or in the District.  But I did what I could for my kids.  My home is a $550K dump on a dumpy little lot.  But it came with Haycock, and thankfully, aside from the overcrowding issues my kids are dealing with right now, I've received that for which I bargained and paid for.

One last thing:  there's a reason Fairfax schools have the reputation they have.  It's fricking amazing how engaged and active the parents are around here.  It's too bad we don't have leaders whose talents and passions match those of the people whose lives they play with so carelessly.[/quote]

Aren't you done yet? 
Let it go. [/quote]
