[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are literally six public schools closer to Columbia Forest than Drew Model School: Abingdon, Barcroft, Campbell, Carlin Springs, Claremont & Randolph. ([b]For that matter, according to Google Maps, even Henry is closer at 2.2 miles away vice 2.5 miles to Drew Model![/b][i]) So tell me why Columbia Forest kids should go to Drew, while neighborhood kids 7/10th a mile away will not?[/quote]

Campbell and Claremont aren’t neighborhood schools. You could have had a decent argument there but instead you tanked your credibility by including them.[/quote]

I know they aren't neighborhood schools - I know exactly which schools are lottery schools and which aren't. But why should my kids be denied the ability to attend any of [b]seven [/b]schools closer to them geographically? Give us a choice....

[/quote]

First, proximity doesn't give you priority for choice schools, nor should it. That's a lousy argument. Second, how did we get from six to seven? What's the seventh school?[/quote]

Henry. The 7th school is Henry. It's in my original post above. [/quote]

And Henry will also be an option school to which you shouldn’t have priority unless you also support ATS becoming a North Arlington-only option (because proximity).

Look, I think the Drew borders are garbage, but making garbage arguments in response isn’t helpful. It just mkes it easier for the staff to dismiss you.[/quote]
