[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not concerned whatsoever about holding this Board accountable. They screwed up, big time. I'm sure it was a cover up, but now I'm zoned to Drew so I'll focus on trying to make that school better.

This Board is their own worst enemy. They fall victim to their stupidity. There is not much we can do to change that and they are not accountable to anyone.

I do hope SF gets totally $ucked in 2020. [/quote]

Didn’t you hear last night from one of the totally pointless SF speakers “supporting” map 6.1-A? They are trying to convince the county to turn SF into a walk zone for Abingdon so they’re not on the chopping block in 2020. They swear that they can find “community” ways to get all of their kids to school without buses. [/quote]

Good for them. Sounds like an engaged community, fighting for their school.[/quote]

If by "fighting for their school" you mean "manipulating public policy to ensure that the only solution to overcrowding is to lop off all the affordable housing in their school's boundary", then yes, I agree. [/quote]

Seriously. For all of the hate that Henry gets for their failed fight to stay together, at least they never wavered from speaking for ALL of their students. #FairlingtonUnited is so transparent as to be offensive to the non-Fairlington Abingdon kids. Notice it was NEVER #AbingdonUnited...[/quote]

You can’t honestly be this simple?
Henry= “fighting” to stay together didn’t hurt their educational outcomes/property values 
Abingdon= fighting for better educational outcomes and property values [/quote]

I don’t get all the hate between CH and SF. Aren’t both communities just advocating for what’s in each of their respective best interests, which is basic human nature?  Do CH or SF members really think they would have behaved differently in each other’s shoes?  It’s the maps and policies that put the communities in a zero sum position and hasn’t been supporting Drew or implementing programs that would make the school an acceptable alternative to CH or SF current schools.  Both the communities may wind up in the same district in 2020 (or their kids in middle school together later on) so the hate seems counterproductive. [/quote]

I don’t hate South Fairlington, and can’t say I would have done differently in their situation.  It’s neither here nor there at this point, but I think their arguments are disingenuous.  Abingdon is more than just Fairlington. I doubt we will ever be in the same middle school zone, though.[/quote]
