[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of Oakton parents are going to be disappointed when their favorite teachers move to Western. There is a lot of interest.[/quote]

Doubt it. Not a Crossfield or Oakton parent, but it's clear that rankings and ratings matter to them. Those teachers aren't going to change that.[/quote]

It's not about rankings/rating. It's about (1) SES (2) Race (3) Sports, not necessarily in that order. The ringleader is obsessed with her child's sports prospects. Ringleader is pretty disliked amongst other sports parents.[/quote]

Give it a rest. There are plenty of reasons why people would avoid Skyview right now.

Reason? Yes. Legitimate reasons? No. [/quote]

Plenty of them.

Just because some South Lakes and Westfield parents really seem to dislike those schools and want to bail doesn’t mean others want to go to a school with an uncertain enrollment, no established school boundaries, no faculty (yet), an unclear curriculum, limited space for traditional classrooms, no VHSL sports, no traditions or track record, and a silly name.  [/quote]

In one to two years there will be sports and the kids will be building the traditions. The curriculum is clear, there will be AP classes with more electives offered as the student body number increases. There will be boundaries set in June. The first year is messy, that is not the fault of the Skyview Admin or the families that see the opportunities.

We get it, you don’t like the process or the purchase or whatever but it is done, kids are going to be attending. Maybe stop with the rehashed negativity and let those who chose to attend be happy with their decision and excited. You may or may not end up there, I doubt that you are attending next year. [/quote]

While I agree with all of your points, the comments such as Oakton parents are going to be angry when their favorite teachers leave or people only want to stay there because of money, race, and sports are bound to bring out the lurkers. Let’s collectively be accountable and I think these debates which ultimately unjustly disparage Skyview will minimize. [/quote]
