[quote=Anonymous]This is a spinoff from the other thread on the Superintendant's recommendations on boundary changes for the elementary schools that feed into BCC. One of the posters raised concerns about the new middle school, with the implication that it will be a lesser school than Westland.... is this a reasonable assumption?

I have a child at RHPS and younger children as well, and personally I just thought a new middle school would be great because the bus ride to Westland seems like a nightmare. Plus I would assume that a new school would have a lot of new resources, etc. But that may be naive.. what am I missing here?

Also, can someone please explain why the Kensington crowd has gone so ballistic over the prospect of the middle school being in their neighborhood? Again, I'm a little clueless, but I would think parents would be thrilled to have a neighborhood middle school. Instead, they seem to be up in arms. It strikes me as a little self-defeating that they are trying to mobilize other RHPS parents against the idea - every time I read one of these hysterical posts on the RHPS listserv about how bad it would be to put a new middle school in Rock Creek Hills, I actually find myself more inclined to support the idea. But I figure I ought to try to develop an objective opinion, so please DCUMs educate me if you can![/quote]
