[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've followed these threads, these boundary changes have been described at times as the "Great Reset."

I think that is what Reid and the School Board want.  They want to make so many changes that anyone who objects will just be part of the noise (thereby canceling each other out); they want to change the demographics at some schools so much that the historic reputations of some schools will be rendered meaningless; and they want to make grandfathering impossible, so that kids will be shell-shocked and families will be sent the clear message that their preferences count for nothing and that Reid and the School Board are in charge.  "If you don't like it, you can leave (see PP today), but don't expect us to let you get in our way."[/quote]

What is the meaning of "historic reputation" in the context of FCPS's public schools? It's not like there is any selectivity for students to be allowed attend. Only TJHSST and private schools have a claim to a reputation of selective standards that makes any real sense. The rest only amounts to chitchat amongst neighbors.[/quote]

DP. we get it, you don’t like the USNews or great schools rankings.[/quote]

Does anyone actually pay attention to those rankings except new parents looking for houses who don't know better? You're an idiot if you think those actually reflect anything other than wealth in an area.[/quote]

DP. Which schools do your children attend? Serious question.[/quote]
