Maybe true. But, how about the FLE Committee composed of Democrat activists and political cronies?
Does that bother you?

We need middle ground and we are not getting it.

then, run for school board.

The next Dranesville school board member is probably going to come from Herndon and less likely to put Langley first when making every decision like Elaine did.

Really? Still waiting for that magical Herndon candidate to materialize.

You sound like a racist.

Probably is. Lots of rich brown kids are in McLean and they’re smarter than your kid. Sorry not sorry.

Not true but can’t wait to vote a straight R ticket and get these fools off the SB ✌️

I don't see much evidence the Rs are fielding SB candidates in at least half the magisterial districts. And some of these Rs and Is? Meren may be a flake but she'll demolish Jackson in the Hunter Mill race, assuming she gets endorsed again. Plus, if Dranesville even has a Republican candidate, it's a closely held secret.

What the heck are they talking about? Should I really bother paying $3M for a house in McLean or Great Falls if the kids are going to fight like kids at any other school?

No. My friend and I were just talking about this. The schools are very similar throughout FCPS-people have convinced themselves if they buy in Mclean or Vienna they are getting something different/better compared to Chantilly, Centreville or Fairfax. You are not.

And the more monied parents will defend their troublemaker kid to the ends of the earth.

If you’re not “getting” the kind of representation that you want, what are YOU doing about it besides complaining?0

OP, parents need to know that there are many loud parents at Langley who get their way, even if their kid has violent tendencies (plural). The violent tendencies for perpetrators are not a new thing, and those parents are well versed in trying to place the blame elsewhere (other kid/s), even if the violent kid is the perp, and even if it happens often. There are cameras at Langley, just as other FCPS schools. Even if the event is caught on camera, the "go to" is "restorative Justice" - ie: Langley won't do a damn thing about the kid prone to snapping, because then their parents step in, and their spiel continues, bigger than last time their kid hurt someone. In fact, recently a kid prone to snapping dragged another down the hall by the neck, at Langley, with the intent to get them in the boy's room and beat them, but other kids stepped in. So, there were several witnesses AND the camera footage. The perp's parents went nuts, as predicted (they learn it at home). There is a reason why the perp has no friends - he is prone to snapping, and the entire class knew it, for all of their school years together. Teach your kids to look out for each other, because adults do not always do the right thing (especially at places like Langley).

Plus grammatical error (“were not sharing”). What a pointless organization.

Kids fighting is unrelated to money. Being wealthy doesn't have a single thing to do with this.
