[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If we are worried about Crossfield commute, they can move to SLHS. Given how close Crossfield and Fox Mill are to each other, the commute will be shorter for them then the commute to Oakton. I suspect that they would prefer to stay at Oakton.[/quote]

I'm neither a Fox Mill or a Crossfield parent.  But, I doubt Crossfield would prefer to stay at Oakton.  There have already been Crossfield people posting here about the commute.  And, I think the School Board's policy of trying to achieve proximity would include Crossfield.

The Fox Mill poster isn’t very rational.  She complains regularly about being moved to South Lakes 17 years ago but then she wants to be moved to an another new school.  Her real beef is that SLHS is IB.

The main argument for moving Fox Mill rather than Crossfield is that it’s closer to FAA, but the commute from Crossfield to Oakton is much longer than the commute from Fox Mill to South Lakes. For that reason, if space at KAA is limited, the equities favor moving Crossfield and leaving Fox Mill at SLHS. [/quote]

Fox Mill feeds to Carson. If left at Carson, it would create a split feeder situation where only the Fox Mill students leave their friends behind. Alternatively, if moved out of Carson to avoid the split feeder, Fox Mill would be moved to a middle school many consider less challenging/desirable.

With all of the unsavory comments on here about Herndon High, I'm *guessing* the Fox Mill poster complaining about IB is trying to sidestep a convo that would similarly disparage another school. (Just a guess.)[/quote]

No, the Fox Mill poster wants to stay at Carson and either pupil place out of South Lakes or get assigned to the new school.  She's not trying to avoid negative comments about Hughes or South Lakes.  If anything, she's been inviting them.

One of her first posts, the one with the list, mentioned moving to Hughes. It's inviting negative comments because it's easy to see that she does not like South Lakes or Hughes even though she isn't saying it directly. It's seems to be a much politer discussion to talk about IB.[/quote]
