[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These comments are starting to get out of hand. Let’s stop belittling other communities all who care about the future of their children. Everyone can have differing views and all should vocalize their perspective at the next meeting or in writing to FCPS.  [/quote]

Maybe the school board shouldn't have come up with such a rushed plan that sets up neighbors against neighbors.

A more thoughtful approach, taking into account community input first would have been a smarter move.  For those who were present at the meeting last saturday, you should have heard the cheering in the audience for those who wanted to stay in place and the anger in the voices of those who jumped the line and shouted out to Dr. Reid how they wanted to move.[/quote]

There is no way to redistrict without causing neighbors to disagree. Some people are invested in specific schools and others are fine with moving. The question is how do the different groups handle it. You can advocate for your position without attacking others. [/quote]

DP. Personally my only issue is when people try to speak up for anyone other than themselves saying everyone at a particular school wants X or everyone in a neighborhood doesn’t want Y. Each of us can only speak for ourselves and what we want. When people organize I wish they would use petitions or something where people have to put their name so the school board can have a true idea of how many people feel a certain way. Better yet send out a secure survey where each household can only respond once. [/quote]
