[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving the units S of Lee Highway away from Williamsburg is unconscionable.  I'm super disappointed in staff.[/quote]

Why?  That’s what the parents in those units wanted.[/quote]

It doesn't matter what those parents wanted. All that matters is the parents in other PUs who want the disparity fixed but don't want their kids to move to accomplish it.

One thing this process has made clear to me is the extent to which people from all walks all over the county are perfectly comfortable suggesting that other people's kids do things they wouldn't want their own kids to do.[/quote]

The kids in those planning units were split from the majority of their Glebe friends and sent to Williamsburg for years in the name of diversity.  It's been unfair to them for awhile and when the new middle school boundaries came about, they again were left as a small group going to Williamsburg while most of Glebe would go to Swanson or Stratford.  I don't think it's unfair for them to want to stay with their friends and classmates and not have Glebe split into 3 middle schools. [/quote]
