[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious.

I get why some Crossfield parents want to stay at Oakton despite the long commute.

I also get why some other Crossfield parents who want to move are upset at them as they'd rather move to KAA and cut the long commute.

What I don’t understand is why some non Crossfield parents are upset at the Crossfield parents who fight to stay.

Is it because of some “equity” issue?  Or is it because their kids are going to KAA and they want to make sure wealthy Crossfield kids join them?

Somebody mentioned tax dollars used for longer bus rides, but that just seems like a really weak reason.

I would venture to say that it's because there are a lot of Carson parents who've been around Crossfield and Navy parents for years.  Their kids eventually won't have a choice - Western will be their assigned high school - yet the Crossfield and Navy parents are suggesting the future base schools for those kids isn't "good enough."  It just feeds into the perception that the Crossfield and Navy parents always acted superior to everyone else at any school their kids attended. [/quote]
