[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carson parent here. I was not happy when we got this email! The school had no additional info when I called, just said they were scrambling because they just found out about it from central office the night before. I actually felt bad for the middle school admin! But they told me to give them the benefit of the doubt, to trust that it would be informational. Incorrect! It was absolutely persuasive, advertising glitzy programs not yet funded or approved! And it was all of the extreme possibilities: building an airplane, flight training, aerospace internships. We are in what we thought was an opt-in area, — but as usual, the district is trying to disrupt parental authority.[b] Of course my kid came home more interested in the new school! [/b]If they had lots of interest, as Reid has claimed, and had done this with full disclosure and with a reasonable timeframe, they wouldn’t need to parade around to our children spreading propaganda. Show me the actual programs that are approved, funded, and staffed. Enthusiasm will follow. This has been a nightmare roll out! [/quote]

How is this any different than your child watching a TikTok and wanting to buy a Product? You say no, right? And you explain why? At least that's what I do. "No, James, we're going to stick with Chantilly because that's where Olivia is a sophomore and we want you at the same school" or whatever. BE A PARENT.[/quote]

It’s not hard to say no but it’s still ridiculous that FCPS is putting parents in this position because they are too incompetent and disorganized to come up with a sensible boundary for Western, especially given that they are already conducting a county-wide boundary review.

At some point there needs to be some accountability for this incompetent superintendent and school board, and people like you who constantly make excuses for them are impediments to that happening sooner rather than later. [/quote]

Well what do you propose we do about it? Complaining on an anonymous internet site isn't going to help. If you want to do something, by all means DO IT. But your lazy ass is just going to complain online anonymously. Blah blah blah.[/quote]
