[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The decline began in the 90s but was relatively confined to schools inside the beltway and inner-ring Fairfax County suburbs. Low-income areas of Reston also began to see issues in the 90s.

The decline began to spread outside the beltway when the illegal immigrant population boomed in the mid to late 2000s. Places like Herndon, West Potomac, central Springfield, and parts of Fairfax/Chantilly/Centreville were hard hit and the aftermath of that produced "pariah" elementary schools in those pyramids.

The recession and generational/demographic change in western Fairfax transformed many schools in the area.

The horrible school board could care less about these issues and honestly seems intent on destroying the remaining batches of Fairfax with good schools and stability.[/quote]
Not snark but how would you realistically address these issues PP?  [/quote]

Most of the solutions to these problems would be up to the state, federal and local government, I.E., stopping Illegal Mass-Migration, enforcing proper zoning laws. The one thing I don't understand is why the school board is allowing 20 years old in mainstream schools when there is specially an adult high school for these people. Some people have also brought up an idea to specially create ESOL schools, so these high-need services don't disrupt the accreditation of mainstream schools which impact things like property values. Also, basic discipline needs to be enforced rather than an "equity" agenda.[/quote]
