Forum Reader, have you considered putting your knowledge to work for the County, if you don't already? I loathe Everyday Math curriculum and also the lack of phonics at many FCPS schools. That is where all of this energy should be going next, if it isn't already.

Floris, the point is that what happened there is no more likely to happen in my neighborhood than it is in yours. I am not trying to say that those areas aren't in Reston, just that geographically, they are much closer to some Floris neighborhoods than they are to mine. They are also much closer to Fox Mill Estates than they are to me.

Just one more point, Navy Parent. Two years ago, a Hendon student was murdered in a drive-by gang shooting, in a neighborhood very near Herndon HS. Her boyfriend was also injured in the attack. Yet many on this site have said they would willingly send their children to Herndon, as recently as this morning. Why does anything negative that happens in Reston accrue to South Lakes HS, while sim
Forum: Fairfax County General

But you aren't attending that neighborhood, you are attending the school. Incidentally, the neighborhood around South Lakes is very safe. I also think it is more likely for any of our children to meet the fate of the McLean kid. Do you think your children would be involved with a gang?

That makes no sense from our point of view. You can and should present your conclusion to the SB. Maybe they will listen to you.
Forum: Fairfax County General

I thought there were a lot of drop-outs and slackers in our area? Any comment on the McLean gang and the relative safety there? Dogwood is much closer to the Floris area than it is to my house. Do you think that crime stops at Reston's edge?

Navy Area Parent, What was your comment about the McLean student beat to a pulp in the face by his fellow students last week? Would you say that McLean is an unsafe neighborhood because of the actions of the few? Taxpayer posted the link the day before yesterday. Check it out.

Another Fox Mill Dad: Thank you for your perspective. I think I'm in like! Please use your considerable skills in your children's schools. They will be blessed to have your input.

Booya, you are acting like a blowhard. Your comments are not appreciated by anyone here either for or against redistricting. As Thumper said, "If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Quantum, of course you are, and I have agreed with you many times. I also would urge any parent with a child potentially heading to South Lakes to advocate for what they want, just as you urge current SL parents to advocate. They probably have more power than they know to effect change at the school, and waiting parents will welcome their contributions and efforts. We have worked very hard for

Word, are you really as nasty as you seem? By comparison, anyone associated with South Lakes looks like an angel. There will be no retribution there. You, on the other hand, seem intent on stirring the pot.

upset parents: I did not initiate the boundary study, the School Board did. You should direct your frustration at them, not me. You chose to live in Fairfax County, which has one of the largest school systems in the Country. Redistricting happens all the time. My children attended South Lakes, did quite well, and earned positions at a very competitive university, so I think the concerns abou
