[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say the new school is a magnet in disguise. Why are people mad about it? If it pulls from all traditional overcrowded schools (albeit potentially unevenly) how does the opt in bother people more than the slight carve outs to their neighborhoods?  People seem to be really insistent that “we need a new traditional” school but when pressed it’s due to overpopulation at other schools so if we reduce that and are a magnet school why does anyone care? Can anyone explain this other than jealousy of their kids are not interested in the pathways? I can’t.  50% of white collar jobs are predicted to be gone in 10 years. Is it time for a new school with a new perspective? I’d say it is.   [/quote]

You could start by focusing on which schools are actually overcrowded and which pyramids will send any significant numbers of kids to the new school under an opt-in system.  That alone ought to answer some of your rhetorical questions.

And if you really think FCPS isn’t teaching kids the right skills for the future, some specialized courses at a single HS can’t be the right answer.  [/quote]
