[quote=Anonymous][quote]All this to say, again, I'm not crying over the tiny numbers of people who are losing boundary rights they aren't using anyway.[/quote] I am a 16th st Heights parent who has lived here for fifteen years. We have a rising 8th grader at Deal, and a rising fifth grader at a charter school. Our three year old starts at the charter in the fall. Every single MS age child I know in our neighborhood attends Deal. Kids have switched OUT of HRCS options to go back to Deal. Large groups of kids wait for the bus together all up 16th st every morning. The old timers in our neighborhood also went to Deal and Wilson and sent their kids there also. So there is a long connection to those schools, and the experience of my children and their neighborhood friends will be directly affected by cutting them out of those resources. Bottom line is that NO ONE should be cut out of their current school and zoned for a lower performing school. Period. It is not ethical. If you feel it would be unethical if it happened to your family, then it is unethical if it happens to your neighbor's also. It is the "everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten" principle![/quote]
