[b]Actually not accurate; Cherrydale parents are fine to meet with PTA and advocate for their kids to attend a school; it’s when they cross the line and recommend cutting the boundary at Barton and giving direction for children not their own that they went to far.

The Courthouse/Clarendon/Rosslyn parents are currently advocating to kick out current administrative transfers (i.e. the kids who walk to ASFS) and prevent any new/future walkable students from attending ASFS all so they can avoid being rezoned to Long Branch, which is actually closer to many of them. Hence, the desperate pleas and name-calling on this board re: the Cherrydale parents.

I get it, they currently live in an area where APS told them they were guaranteed admission to ASFS. Now they are being told that their school zone may change. It sucks. Just like it sucks for everyone else who has kids who will get rezoned in 2019 or 2021.  But to imply people are “cra cra” or racist or hate poor people because they want to walk to the neighborhood school that’s in their neighborhood is just mean-spirited. APS created this situation with its option schools and the old Team model. They screwed this up, not the Cherrydale or the Rosslyn or the Courthouse parents.

Boundaries will be redrawn. Some children will go to a different, but nonetheless, great school.  In five years, most everyone on this board bitching about elementary boundaries will be in middle school. Life will go on and we will all survive.[/quote]
