A lot of people commenting on here apparently did not read carefully. The original post didn’t say anything about forcing people to attend their inbound school.

We aren't being forced to attend our IB schools, so no need to say "bye."

We're here because like most of the rest of humanity, we make choices about where to live based on multiple, sometimes competing, factors. Big ones are affordability, commute, home value growth potential, school options, safety, walkability to neighborhood things like parks, etc.

Ward 7 and 8 have high percents of kids at oob and charters. The families who are the worst off would not be able to move but would be forced to go to schools they don't want to go to, just so you can inconvenience a different set of families you don't like.

Shows a total lack of understanding of EOTP neighbourhoods. Do you live in Reston?

I've mentioned this many, many times but the first thing my long-time neighbours told me when we moved to our place in 2008 is that the block has tons of kids and none of them go to the IB school and they would help us navigate the charters. So we interacted with our neighbors just fine: birthday parties, BBQs, fireworks on the fourth of July and even went to the same school as some of them!

Perhaps the schools are the problem, not the people.

I interact with my neighbors all the time. Like daily. They also sent or send their kids to charters or privates.
