[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not concerned whatsoever about holding this Board accountable. They screwed up, big time. I'm sure it was a cover up, but now I'm zoned to Drew so I'll focus on trying to make that school better.

This Board is their own worst enemy. They fall victim to their stupidity. There is not much we can do to change that and they are not accountable to anyone.

I do hope SF gets totally $ucked in 2020. [/quote]

Didn’t you hear last night from one of the totally pointless SF speakers “supporting” map 6.1-A? They are trying to convince the county to turn SF into a walk zone for Abingdon so they’re not on the chopping block in 2020. They swear that they can find “community” ways to get all of their kids to school without buses. [/quote]

Good for them. Sounds like an engaged community, fighting for their school.[/quote]

If by "fighting for their school" you mean "manipulating public policy to ensure that the only solution to overcrowding is to lop off all the affordable housing in their school's boundary", then yes, I agree. [/quote]

Seriously. For all of the hate that Henry gets for their failed fight to stay together, at least they never wavered from speaking for ALL of their students. #FairlingtonUnited is so transparent as to be offensive to the non-Fairlington Abingdon kids. Notice it was NEVER #AbingdonUnited...[/quote]

You can’t honestly be this simple?
Henry= “fighting” to stay together didn’t hurt their educational outcomes/property values 
Abingdon= fighting for better educational outcomes and property values [/quote]

I don’t get all the hate between CH and SF. Aren’t both communities just advocating for what’s in each of their respective best interests, which is basic human nature?  Do CH or SF members really think they would have behaved differently in each other’s shoes?  It’s the maps and policies that put the communities in a zero sum position and hasn’t been supporting Drew or implementing programs that would make the school an acceptable alternative to CH or SF current schools.  Both the communities may wind up in the same district in 2020 (or their kids in middle school together later on) so the hate seems counterproductive. [/quote]

The hate started when Fairlington demanded Columbia heights be moved to Drew. I’d be mad too. Maybe the school board knew what they were doing though. CH families will be better for Drew an appear to st least have better decorum. And while it was nauseating to hear it over and over those families know how to make a blue ribbon school. Not sure Abingdon could pull that off. Although I suspect CH families have a much higher income and can afford to go private. I’d be willing to be no one still living in Fairlington with elementary age students could afford private school [/quote]

They didn't demand. They asked why the PU closest to Drew walkzone were not slelected. It didnt make sense why the SB avoided those PH units. They went as far as to gerrymander a neighborhood with the third highest poverty rate and 2 miles away. Was it all so Reid could save face? That explains his earlier responses to several CF residents. He wanted the residents to come up with a solution. Funny huh. Demanding a solution from the resident and not the staff or himself.

The more I think about this the more I am convinced this shitshow of a boundary process was because of Goldstein's assurances to the PH community.

Why wasn't Oakridge drawn to Drew? That was the main reson why SAWG recommended Montessori to move the PH building, to create room for Oakridge's overcrowding.

Well then you need to stop thinking about it, because you are reaching stupider and stupider conclusions.[/quote]
