[quote=Anonymous]Instead of blaming parents all of whom want to see what's best for their children why can't everyone advocate for more middle school and elementary school buildings to help the entire city?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new maps are excellent at evening out capacity across zones, which was the point of the exercise. I fully support them. I hope the policies being changed are similarly implemented with a mind toward keeping utilization balanced across schools.

The most vocal opponents are the ones who don’t want to lose their ingrained advantages of having schools at 75% capacity while others are bursting. And these same people are the ones you can thank for there being no middle school fixes. Looking at you, J-H parents, who killed the conversion to a middle school, killed the proposed policy in this process to restrict transfers out of K-8s for middle school, and are resistant to new middle school boundary maps.[/quote]

Oh, and look, right on cue the MacArthur parents are now lobbying to avoid having MacArthur kids go to different middle schools depending on where they live since the MacArthur district is huge. So GWMS will never see any relief, because god forbid kids go to a middle school that’s closer to them. And these will be the same parents complaining in a few years about overcrowding and wondering why it has never been fixed.[/quote][/quote]
