I can't believe some cluster two parents are STILL playing the victim card. Haycock and Lemon Road are both good. No one cares if you got served lobster when you thought you ordered steak!

What I can't believe is that you guys call this a "logistical problem." I'm sorry my child and my child's feelings get in the way of "logistics" at Haycock. Can't you ever just acknowledge that it sucked for our kids to have to leave their friends and start all over a a third or fourth elementary school. A little understanding would have gone a long way. But I guess that's too much to ask. I guess it's just to hard for some people to be gracious winners.

Haycock was overcrowded and stood to be even more overcrowded this year unless something was done. That would have been unacceptable to Haycock's teachers and administrators, and to most of the parents. Calling that a "logistical problem" does not suggest that your child's feelings were irrelevant, but only that the problem was with the crowding, and not with individual kids. Haycock had - and has - great kids. Both those who left and those who stayed likely miss some of the kids they no longer see in the classrooms.

It's almost a year later, and you're still insisting that there were "winners" and "losers" in this situation. I disagree. There was only an outcome, which had pluses and minuses for all involved. And you're not even consistent as to whether you consider those who moved to Lemon Road "winners" or "losers."

The kids who had to change schools and leave their friends probably consider it a loss, but I'm glad you don't think anyone lost anything.

If you want to dwell on the negatives rather than the pluses (smaller class sizes in renovated classrooms in a smaller school with other classmates zoned for the same middle and high school), have at it. Problems are problems, no matter how first-world they may be.
