Their reasons as per the meeting at the school and the school board meeting where they had a few speakers have been a joke:
1. We bought our homes because of Oakton (so what? that's a risk)[/quote]

Certain neighborhoods cost more due to schools. Some are cheaper. A lot of people in crossfield aren't "normal"

[quote]2. Our kids' middle school friends are ALL going to Oakton (um, only if your kid is in AAP and even then, only like 1/3 of those kids are going to Oakton. For normal kids, none of their new friends are going to Oakton)[/quote]

Guess my kids aren't normal. It's TJ or Oakton for my daughter's.

[quote]3. Our kids play in sports and do activities with only kids going to Oakton (um, nope, your kids play in CYA or CYA-affiliated clubs and most CYA kids go to Chantilly or Westfield)[/quote]

How do you know which leagues my kids go to or if they're in travel leagues with Oakton kids?

[quote]4. Oakton is much closer to our homes (um, nope)[/quote]

For me personally it's roughly the same travel time depending on time of day.

[quote]5. Crossing Fairfax County Parkway is dangerous (um, your kids do it for Carson, not to mention that the drive to Oakton is far more dangerous, kids either get on the highway or have to drive on windy narrow roads)[/quote]

I66 is kind of slow from 7am on so I'm not worried.

[/quote]

I drive on I-66 every day at 7:30am and it is absolutely not slow. I get that it's one exit, but I wouldn't want a new driver on that exit when it's stop and go backed up all the way to 50.[/quote]
