Taylor Meeting at Wootton

[Anonymous]

Did anyone attend the meeting with Taylor at Wootton? Was anything interesting said?

[Anonymous]

He pre-screened the questions so that he only answered what he wanted to answer and had time to prepare them (plus run them past MCPS legal counsel).

It was completely unhinged and the parkway people were out of control. It was mob rule and a completely embarrassing portrayal of the Wootton community.

Embarrassment of an entire cluster. These people need a grip on reality. It was 85° in there, a counselor spoke about the working conditions in the building, you’d think people would want their kids to have better conditions but apparently they only care about the location.

They care about how much money they spent on their houses

The Wootton people who can walk to the building, who value the ability to walk to school above all else. Including their children’s health.

They are the members of the wootton community who are adamantly against the superintendents recommendation. Many others in the community are for the move to crown.

Maybe we don’t want our children to spend 40 minutes each way on the bus daily because it will negatively impact their health. We are going to be the farthest community from Crown. Our kids will be getting on those buses before 7 am. We bought our tiny townhouse to be able to walk to all 3 schools.

Still no excuse to behave the way you did tonight. So embarrassing. What a horrible representation of the Wootton community.

It's not 40 minutes. I live in Crown and my son takes a 20 min bus ride to Wootton. Your kids will be fine. Or sell your townhouse and move to Crown.

LMAO! Of course. I would expect no less.

Though to be fair, since Wootton parents have lawyered up, that's also the smart and responsible thing to do.

I'm somewhat sympathetic but you have got to stop with the hyperbole. It does NOT take 40 minutes to go from Wootton to Crown. Its 15-20 minutes at rush hour, quicker at the times when the high school buses are running (7am / 3pm). Maybe on a bad day your kid has to spend 40 minutes total round trip on the bus -- and I get that that's not ideal. But it's also not the end of the world and you aren't going to win people over to your side by lying.
