I think selfish is the word you’re looking for. They couldn’t care less if other kids end up somewhere other than Oakton in 5 years, as long as theirs get to attend Oakton and play sports. They care more about sports glory than property values.
The crazy thing is that the one lady's daughter is going to be good at Oakton but could be star at Western.
You never know. Shortly after opening, Westfield was a very important contender--and a winner in sports.

I truly think that we could solve the problem of the RIO mommies with one policy:
Current 7th graders can choose if they are going to Oakton or Western in 27-28. After that, if you are zoned to Western but your child has a sibling at Oakton, you can opt in to Oakton. The only catch is that you have to provide your own transportation. This would only last max 10 years and would be max 20 kids each year.
It's a no brainer
