[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The few posts I have seen on Meren’s page point to the Crossfield families going to SLHS as approving of that choice, I think that they might already go there.

The rest of the Crossfield break is 100% because the school is very divided on where they want to go. [/quote]

Right. If they had just made Scenario 1 where all of Crossfield goes to Carson-Skyview, the reaction would be very different. It's almost like someone has a contact in Gatehouse and suggested this as a way to get a united pro-Oakton front!! Hm....[/quote]

Maybe.

Honestly I think there are more pro–Oakton Crossfield families than pro–Carson/Skyview families, but it doesn't matter.  The RIO won.

They were very transparent about moving to Franklin. They created the website and started the petition at the very early stage. Pro–Oakton parents were well represented at every meeting I attended, outnumbering pro–Skyview parents by at least 4 to 1.

All the pro–Skyview parents did was complain on this board.

Well that's probably not entirely true.  I guess they contacted the school board and left comments too.

But from day one they lost the PR battle and never recovered.[/quote]

Not in RIO, but I remember people pooh poohing the fact that parents can be organized when lobbying FCPS.

[b]Parents should absoutely do that to advocate for their kids[/b].[/quote]

Yup.  Advocate for your kids to be on long commutes on a bus --or driving on dangerous roads.
Real advocacy.[/quote]

Dude, those kids are on a bus thats shorter than my commute.

Don't raise your kids to be wimps, or decide to send your kids to a school with a higher FARMs rate than what you're assigned too now.
And I'm a snob whoopty do, I feel superior to you and don't care if you don't like me.[/quote]

It's actually kind of silly because your average child will absolutely not stand out at Oakton, and they might have a chance at Skyview.[/quote]

Yep. [/quote]
