[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So most of Franklin MS will go to Oakton but then the poor Lees Corner kids will be the only ones there that go on to Chantilly HS? They will have no opportunity to meet kids going to Chantilly while at Franklin? That’s awful. [/quote]

I still advocate for sending Lees Corner Chantilly walkers to Rocky Run and Chantilly, and the Lees Corner bus riders to Chantilly, who probably walk to Franklin, to Skyview. [/quote]

Why on earth would you advocate for splitting up Lees Corner? That's the dumbest thing I've heard so far.[/quote]

Because making high school boundary decisions by elementary is stupid and doesn't work in this part of town. [/quote]

So, instead of a whole elementary school being geographically and socially isolated from the rest of Westfield, you will take a much smaller portion?  How generous of you.[/quote]

Are you that crazy Lees Corner mom? Get over yourself. You can't make boundary decisions exclusively by elementary in this part of the county. That's why there's been hundreds of pages written about this with people going in circles. The math doesn't math. My idea was a Franklin/Skyview feeder for the kids closest to Skyview, and a Rocky Run/Chantilly feeder for the kids closest to Chantilly. Yes, I think that's generous. We could just send you all to Westfield.[/quote]

Not a Lee's Corner resident.  Just a nearby resident who understands the area.  Why would you isolate kids like that?  Have you ever had a high school student?  [/quote]

I also live in the area. I don't view it as isolating at all. Rather it cuts down on split feeders and better aligns middle schools. It makes geographical sense. Have you looked at a map? The northern part of Lees Corner is just as close to Skyview as it is to Chantilly, plus Franklin is right there. The southern part of the boundary is closer to Chantilly, which really should have Rocky Run as an exclusive feeder (with the Navy/Franklin kids too.) Why would Lees Corner want to be basically the only Franklin kids going to Chantilly? Talk about isolating. Ideally pyramids should always align but as I have said it doesn't add up in this area. Therefore yes, I would rather keep middle schoolers together.[/quote]
