[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There still hasn't been even ONE person with a kid at LJMS with a complaint about how things are going since the rezoning this fall.  There hasn't been anyone with a kid at TMS complaining about the 30% increase in students this fall.

So, let the complainers complain about what they forecast and imagine.  The doom hasn't happened.  If it is going to happen, the smart thing to do would be to make sure Dalia and Pat and the principal at LJMS are doing what they can to keep things positive there.  Beyond that, if you are unhappy with the results and LJMS becomes unacceptable to you, then move!  I am 100% sure -- as you should be -- that the school board is not going to reverse the zoning decision.   Might as well focus on the future.[/quote]

You are incorrect. They have already talked about doing an entire boundary decision in future years for all of Fairfax County that most certainly would affect these two schools. It wouldn't be reversed but it could be changed.

That is ridiculous[b] to expect people to move[/b]. Not everyone has the funds to do so.[/quote]

Not expecting people to move.  But, practically speaking, it is one of your options if you are unhappy with how things settle out.  You can be proactive and work with the situation now, find out how things are inside the walls of the school (not just on DCUM), and if you don't think LJMS is good enough for your child, you have the same options as everyone else who bought in a certain boundary and feels queezy about the MS or HS.  You either suck it up and become one of the involved parents, you hire tutors if needed, or you move.  Most likely, you'll stay.  You'll find the like minded parents and your child will be fine, and move on to HS after two years.  But, bringing the OHS kids back into LJMS is probably the least likely outcome.[/quote]
