[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Few of us in the Cooper/Langley area are under any illusion that Janie Strauss is advocating for our children and schools, or our priorities, whether it be full day K, later start time, lower class sizes, anything -- she's been on the wrong side from her "stakeholders" most of the time.

Nor do we believe that any Longfellow teachers would move to Cooper.  And despite Cooper's stated best intentions, few believe the AAP center could be a satisfactory alternative overnight.  In a few years, given resources, planning, money for building capacity and enhancements -- maybe.  Parents of both AAP and GE students are and should continue to be very skeptical of the impact on their kids.[/b]

Re the CIP & projections -- yes I strongly believe they are unreliable, and we've seen them way off year after year.  Many parents have spoken up and some School Board members are advocating for better data too.  Whether it's in regard to AAP center changes or the boundary adjustments -- ALL parents should be following this and getting involved.[/quote]

This post says it all-and from all the arguments made on both sides-consider Longfellow as CENTER only!!!!!! It truly does make the make sense in the long run.

And let's all pray that Louise Epstein or anyone else but Janie Strauss wins next election. I'm tired of the McLean/GF cluster 1 parents having to endure huge class sizes allegedly because "We can afford to supplement our kids education" in ways that the rest of the county cannot. Let the naysayers move into our pyramid and start paying exorbitant property taxes if they want to whine about their class sizes of 14 while we endure 30+ (in my 3rd graders AAP center school class). Some progress! :roll:  [/quote]
