[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, and I wasn't baiting. If you read the discussion on the boundaries for the elementary schools in this area, someone else raised the issue. What I know of this issue comes from the Rosemary Hill school list serv as well as limited press coverage. I started a separate thread so I wouldn't hijack the other one that was focused on the boundaries question. I'm not on the Rock Creek Hills list serv but now I'm curious.

BTW, I don't live in the Rosemary Hills neighborhood but in CC proper. I never really formed any views on the site near RHPS, since it seemed to get taken off the table almost as quickly as it was announced. But I also think the knee jerk opposition of some of the residents of Rock Creek Hills is really counterproductive. You don't really expect to sway people agains the school by insisting the current lack of sidewalks on some streets makes it impossible to site a school there, do you? I find the arguments made by the RHPS PTA much more convincing than what sounds more and more like NIMBYism from the Kensington neighborhood. After reading the latest round of shrieking on the RHPS listserv (from people who don't even appear to have kids at Rosemary Hills any longer!), I actually emailed a note of support for the Rock Creek Hills site to all the County officials whose emails were distributed. Just a thought folks, you might want to rethink your strategy. Many of us in CC and NCC live near MCPS schools already, and it strikes a pretty sour note to take such a vehement opposition to the prospect of having the same in your 'hood.[/quote]
