[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but people in Rosslyn have known about the distance of their assigned school since they moved there. Same thing with Westover people. The sense of entitlement to "my school' is baffling to me. When you make a decision to move into a neighborhood, you take into account the school options. Those factors are some of the most important reasons people move where they move - and it has a huge impact on home values. Right now we have people trying to game the system they bought into.[/quote]
Not so.  When people moved to Rosslyn, they had two neighborhood schools— 1 within a mile walk (Key) and another further away but still metro accessible if they couldn’t do immersion.  Their school was first turned option (in the case of key) and then usurped in the case of asfs.  Rosslyn got screwed.  Clarendon/Courthouse also got screwed.  Colonial village got screwed.  The only one that didn’t get screwed in Lyon village— I wonder how that happened (insert sarcastic pause).[/quote]

How was ASFS usurped??? You have guaranteed admission. It is your neighborhood school.[/quote]
This entire thread and the key/asfs swap one all allude to the idea that asfs was this team school that belongs to cherrydale.  Those guys took our neighborhood school and are actively lobbying to get all of the apartment dwellers who currently go there sent to somewhere else.  And it’s not like they want us sent somewhere close by!  There is no other school close by![/quote]

Cherrydale wants your school, but they're not getting it. ASFS has been identified to be an option school. So in no scenario is it theirs, though they are certainty trying.

If Key and ASFS swap, most of your community and the ASFS staff, and probably your lab equipment, would move to Key. [/quote]
