BRADSHER is ridiculous. We `all got our tax bills and houses have declined - I paid 3.14 for gas plus food is up.
BRADSHER can FORGET her SOUTH COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL. Since her lovely quote advocates sending students to South Lakes then IMHO that contradicts her actions for her own community - Silverbrook Elementary. Say hello to Lake Braddock Lizzie!!
" you want choice, you have to go and send your child to a private school. … There is no entitlement in a public school system and just because you move to that area does not mean you get to attend that school in perpetuity," said Bradsher.
"We just can’t keep busing kids just because that was the way it was always done," she said. "
PS-some Fox Mill West is closer to Chantilly than Herndon . Herndon is 2 miles closer than South Lakes.
