The irony is that the privileged want others to "move on," after it's pointed out that the likely consequences of this bone-headed decision are that it will trigger further SES segregation and flight. I think they know what's in store.

Responding for her: “I don’t wanna!!!” Ever. Ever. Ever.

The post to which you’re responding addresses the fact that most people on this forum want (their) kids to have an aap choice.

Who said anything about offending someone?

I think most people in this forum are for the aap choices afforded their kids. Perhaps post elsewhere to get the support you so desperately need?

I think over time the ill-advised nature of this boundary change will make itself clear, just like some School Board members will admit in private the Annandale/Poe redistricting was a fiasco.

Sometimes it takes external criticism to call attention to an injustice. FCPS clearly likes to think of itself as on the cutting edge of social justice. Giving AAP students choices that other students aren't afforded isn't right, nor it is progressive to concentrate poverty in a handful of school pyramids to please wealthier parents who make more noise.

I’m one poster who has kids who are choosing Luther Jackson. I’ve posted to some of these but not all. It is not one person. But I agree - let’s let this go!!

Yup, this. I’m happy with the rezoning, too. I see it as a great solution because Thoreau has lots of room and LJ will now have slightly more room.

What’s pathetic is your pretending not to realize that stripping out wealthy areas zoned for LJ and concentrating poverty in the GenEd population at LJ will not lead to socio-economic segregation at the school. But perhaps that’s to be expected from a poster who signs off with “Sad.” Trump would be so proud.

You’re sweet. Hope your kids get their effective communication and empathetic personal skills from you. Oh wait -

Truth is, you hear nothing but yourself. I’m wealthy and we are attending lj. You’re so myopically focused on your property values and what you think may happen, there’s no reasoning with you. It’s like arguing with a crazy person. No, thanks.

All of you are pathetic..
