[quote=Anonymous]You can say it is about FARMs etc diversity etc but like a PP said, they want diversity but they want educated diversity.  They don't want their kids going on play dates to apartments with parents that are blue color.  God forbid you become friends with a woman who cleans houses for a living instead of wearing yoga clothes to go shopping.  The school system screwed up many years ago and they have not recovered from it.  RHPS is a great school, NCC, BE and CC are great schools.  The new middle school is so far off it should not be in the discussion.

The main issue is the East Bethesda neighborhood.  A lot of people have spent many many hours on this issue and there are always a few who chime in at the end to voice their opinion.

When this goes to the school board it will look like the community is split and the school board will probably keep it as is and those who spent years working on this issue to have a greater sense of community.  Anyone who has gone to RHPS from that neighborhood has said they love it but it makes no sense to go all that way.  Just like the people who don't want their kids to go to Westland from that part of Silver Spring.  Forget FARMs, forget diversity, it is a great area with great schools and your kids will be just fine.

How come none of these people joined the education committee?  How come you were not at the meetings?  Showing up at the last minute with your own agenda is not helping the hard work this group has done for so long and many of them don't even have kids that will be impacted by it.  They asked for help, they asked for responses to surveys but not many people stepped up.  Hats off to them for doing what they have done.  They are just doing it for the entire area, not themselves.
