[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What ridiculous incompetence.

Literally just about anywhere else in the world, even in this country, school leaders would not waste time and they would open the dang school. Instead they want to listen to people bicker and squabble over this for another year?? What a waste.

Please. There is no solution to this that will make everyone 100% happy. Stop it with the theatrics about “community input” when it won’t matter in the end. No magnet school. do it by the numbers and eliminating split feeders, there, done. Families will adapt.[/quote]

Actually, anywhere else in the world they would’ve put more thought into the plan before buying such a large asset.[/quote]

No.  They need the school.  Westfield is full, Centreville is overcrowded, and Chantilly is bursting at the seams.[/quote]

Herndon has hundreds of empty seats and they’d already be working on the Centreville expansion if they had their act together. [/quote]

Don’t worry, great falls will soon fill those empty seats at Herndon. [/quote]

Will great falls parents be willing to send their kids to a school with death threats from Herndon High classmates that resulted in a drive-by shooting death of a Herndon High student?

Seems like Herndon High needs to fix that problem first.  Herndon High families may be used to the violence but others are not.[/quote]

What do Great Falls parents plan to do about the culture at Langley:  academic and social pressure that has led to multiple student suicides; vandalism at other schools; a teacher who took Langley students on a trip to Europe and encouraged them to engage in drinking and sexual activity in his presence; an aide arrested for fondling his genitals in a Langley classroom; multiple recent acts of anti-Semitism; an alumnus who killed another Langley graduate; and a Langley parent who shot his own son, then a Langley sophomore.

Herndon seems like an oasis of normalcy in comparison. [/quote]
Show of hands, how many people here think it’s “normalcy” to have a high school student receive death threats from his classmates while at school, then murdered in a drive-by shooting near a feeder elementary school, all while FCPS and Herndon High admin sweeps it under the rug and the parents dismiss the murder of the student because it didn’t happen at the school?

Hate to say, but you two are in an air tight echo chamber, and you dismissing the murder only hardens parents’ feelings that they don’t want their kids to go to a high school where murder is dismissed in the name of filling out your kid’s AAP bio class.

A better response from you is to get big mad at FCPS for letting things get out of hand at the school.  Want more kids to go there? Figure out how to make it a more desirable school. It’s not rocket science.[/quote]

The earlier post about Langley was misleading.  It left out the football coach arrested for soliciting minors for sex.

If opening KAA means that Langley kids rather than Westfield or Chantilly kids move to Herndon in a few years, it sounds like it could be a better environment as well as much closer.  [/quote]
