[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]moving forward with this would create a school that could rival TJ. Given the changes going on there, this would be welcomed[/quote]

No it wouldn't.  That's not what TJ is.  [/quote]
If you keep all the poors out, the scores will soar!!! Just look at Langley, PP.  [/quote]

So you’re in favor of busing students miles from their homes in order to provide “economic diversity” at Langley?  Try actually proposing that and see what kind of reaction you get from those families whose kids you want to sit on buses for hours each day in the name of “equity.”  Good luck with that.   :roll: [/quote]

You want someone to address your strawman argument?  Nope.  Sorry.[/quote]

Strawman?  Some idiot (you?) is insisting this whole proposal would be to “keep the poors out.”  Which begs the question:  how do you propose adding “poors” (not my term) to Langley without busing them in?

Some of you just love to throw tantrums about the lack of “economic diversity” at Langley and McLean.  But the reality is, the only way to achieve this would be to bus kids for miles away from their neighborhood schools.  But none of you will admit that’s what it would take.  You just want to continue pouting and whining.  If not busing, then what’s your brilliant solution?[/quote]

[b]Langley and McLean not only want to keep the poors out, they want to stop "subsidizing" the poors of Fairfax County. [/b]

That's not segregation, it's secession.  And it's ugly.  [/quote]

I don’t think it has anything to do with that. FCPS is too big to manage. It would be nice to be part of a smaller local school system that can better serve its population. I would feel that way even if McLean was not a wealthy area.[/quote]
