[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't use "ain't" in speaking to poor people.  I used it to speak to people too dumb to understand or admit that Poe has never been in the official proposals and will not suddenly be inserted into the decision process.  The board isn't going to drop all the proposals and the recommendation that is set for final approval in 10 days.  This ship has sailed and Poe isn't and never was on the ship.[/quote]

There hasn't been a vote, so the ship hasn't sailed yet, although you're obviously paddling away from Jackson as fast as you can.

If they aren't total hypocrites, they need to hit the reset button.   [/quote]

I don't need to "paddle away from Jackson" b/c my kids can go to Thoreau.  So, really, it's just a benefit to my family if you get your way... the whole rezoning process gets scrapped next week.  Jackson kids live with 19+ trailers for another year.  Thoreau kids continue to enjoy their nice, big, roomy, new facility for at least another year -- maybe several years.  Works for me!  You can spend the next year bickering about which group of Jackson's poorer kids to off-load onto Poe.  Ultimately, the kids already zoned for Poe  will be in a school that is even more "needy" (higher than the current 75% FARMS rate).  yep...We'll be fine over here at Thoreau where the FARMS rate is ... oh let's see.... 10%!   :D

Enjoy the pushing and shoving again next year at Jackson!

If you have so many great ideas, OP, and you feel so strongly about what should happen, why didn't you speak up last week when the school board was taking community input?  I know you didn't speak up b/c I watched all TWO people comment from the community.  One was supporting the move (from Oakton ES) and the other was asking to keep Mosby in LJMS (a Mosby Parent).  No -- you didn't show up to speak.  You didn't submit a video comment.  You just like to moan and complain on DCUM.  Well, just keep at it.  School board will be voting next week.  There is only one recommended plan on the table.  It does not involve Poe.   [/quote]

I feel the same way as OP, however I don't live in boundary and so didn't speak up at a hearing. I have spoken up to a couple of people offline though. I can just see how their decision will be very similar to what happened with Annandale. I will just have to hope the school board will make good decisions and I will vote for or against them in the future based on how they vote. IMO though, [b]the Jackson parents should have been the ones to speak up. However they probably don't want to go to Poe[/b], so they have reason also to not speak up. It's a double edge sword whether they do or don't speak up and so FCPS knows they won't get much opposition and yet everyone watching from the sidelines can see what is happening.[/quote]

What are you even talking about?  There is no proposal to shift Jackson kids to Poe so why would any parent speak about it?  You can't go to a seminar on space travel and want to discuss burgers. Just sayin..
