[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was commenting on Woodward thread. Many parents have genuine problem with some options.

In this thread, Wayside parents should be happy that there is no nuclear option like option 3 in Woodward where you get shipped to Gaithersburg HS to balance FARMS.

Wayside going from Churchill to Wootton should be a non-event for most families. Not sure why so much noise. Wootton is equally good school.[/quote]

The neighborhoods moving from Wootton to Crown seems like the the biggest losers in the Crown options.[/quote]

Yes, it’s a big loss for many people, not just on property value but also having to leave friends and attend a brand new half done school without auditorium. Many uncertainties especially for the 9th graders who have to leave on whether the new school offer the same rigorous courses, club/sports activities, etc[/quote]
Hundreds of kids have had to move schools due to boundary changes. Your kids will be alright.  Sheesh.[/quote]

Where? You lack basic empathy for affected kids. [/quote]
Where? Have you been living under a rock?  MCPS has had a few boundaries redrawn in the past 10 years.

My kids moved schools, including across the country. They are fine.  Yes, it will be hard at first, but they will adjust. It's not like they are moving all alone. Your entire neighborhood will move.  Sheesh. I hope you teach your kids more resilience.[/quote]

Instead of being taught to be flexible and adaptation, children now get sheltered and coddled by parents who were also sheltered and coddled.  And parents who have turned into people who get angry about a brand new beautiful school to move into in one of our state's best school systems (with its share of problems, too).  The whole situation is messed up.  They opened a new ES near me.  "oh good, ours will be less crowded when the new one opens"  It was less crowded, particularly since my family was sent to the new school!  My kids did fine.[/quote]

Another kids are resilient crap. This is the reason MCPS keeps failing because they just don’t care about the kids well-being.

This 100%. MCPS BOE members must have used the word resilient 100 times during the covid closures. I can just hear the word now coming from behind Monika's mask.[/quote]
Please, I'm a parent in the RM cluster.  My one DC has some anxiety and depression issues and is a very sensitive kid, but I don't try to coddle them. I try to teach them to be, yes, resilient. Because that is what it takes in this world to live.

You are not doing your kids any favors by trying to coddle them.

You can advocate for your kids, but thinking that having them and the entire neighborhood move to a different cluster is going to be traumatic is just pathetic. IMO, you are probably more coddled than your kids are.[/quote]

Please, it’s not the moving the cluster, it’s moving them in the middle of middle school and the middle of high school. There are better ways to do it and the more you use the word resilient the more we will bring up COVID. [/quote]
They will still adjust.  Hundreds of kids before them have done it.   They will be fine if you let them be fine.[/quote]

Not all can.  Especially when only 5-10 kids per grade from a school gets split out. They’re not split out with hundreds of kids. They’re singled out. 
[/quote]
They will.   They aren't the only ones who had to move, even if it's 5 to 10 kids per grade.[/quote]

Easy for you say, troll [/quote]
