[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think maybe we disagree on what public schools mean in a fundamental way if you believe that the price of the house a child's family can afford should directly determine the quality of their public school education. Maybe you should get a cheaper house and pay for private school.[/quote]

Or maybe you should acknowledge that FCPS short-changes the public schools in McLean and then takes credit for the high achievement of their students that is a result of the additional resources that the parents there have to fork over on their own. [/quote]
The top schools in Va (after TJ) are Langley and Mclean HS. Langley got a beautiful renovation done recently. Apart from the over-crowding issue at Mclean HS, how exactly are these schools being "short-changed"?[/quote]

Apart from the shooting, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln? [/quote]

Langley got got a renovation, now other schools in the county are- should McLean jump in line? [/quote]FCPS has not dealt with the over crowding at McLean. There was suppose to be a decision a few years ago about boundary change. They keep kicking the can down the road adding more trailers now a modular. Most of the athletic field are gone, there is no other space to put these outdoor learning facilities but they need more to fit the kids…… Or they need to change the boundaries or build a bigger HS. My understanding is even in 2 years with all the additional trailers/modular, there will not be enough space.[/quote]

The solution is obviously to continue to invest all the money elsewhere, and let this school run down further so that people just avoid it.  There are some signs that is already occurring, but it would be premature to declare victory until it's lost hundreds more kids and is completely mediocre. [/quote]Or incorporate a McLean City. If you include Great Falls and all current ES,MS, HS boundaries for the McLean Pyarmid. Then you have 2-3 MS and 2 HS plus however ES’s. [/quote]
