Calling me a bad parent? Who the heck are you? You are the bad parent here. I can't even. I wouldn't even allow my 3 wonderful children to be friends with your kids. Go ahead. Send your kids private. Good riddance.

You called me a bad parent. That is personal. I am at CWE almost every day and my kids are great students. I am involved. FCMS will not make or break my kids. If you think otherwise, you are wrong. Sorry.

And your class warfare is wrong too. Then again my house is only worth $600k, so I don't deserve FSMS.

In that case the $650K will be based on appraisal since that is the official metric. There is heavy support growing for a $650K proposition among many in Avalon in Riverstone 80s, the custom sections, olive hill, and silver grove. If you are in one of those sections please keep your eyes open for the circulating petitions.
Are you kidding me? You do not get it at all. At all. Public education is not based on the value of your home. Sorry. Do you only want my family because our home is worth a pretty penny? What if my family's home was worth $400k? Would you not want us then? My kids are still in the GT program, I am still a highly involved parent, my kids still make straight A's and are very involved in school activities, my husband still has a PhD, and I still have a master's degree. Would we not be good enough for you then?

This makes me sick.

Imagine another reality. Years from now. You just bailed your child out of jail. He has committed a crime too hanus to speak of. That reality is very possible if your child goes to First Colony Middle School.

Dramatic much? And it is heinous. Not hanus. You clearly did not go to FSMS either.

I will admit, I want my kids to go to FSMS, but not for the reasons you are stating...it is closer to our homes and won't mess up our current feeder patterns (along with those of Colony Bend).

You still did not answer my question.

This rezoning is more then just academics. I want the populus of Riverstone to learn the moral and ethics that will be bestowed upon them at Fort Settlement.
Ok that's it! I'm enrolling my kids into FSMS ASAP
