I know that, during the Hallie Wells MS boundary study, there were parents at Gibbs ES who were very worried that they would get rezoned to Neelsville MS. I'm guessing that there is now similar fear about rezoning to Seneca Valley HS - and that this fear might be prompting some of the anonymous talk on this thread about rezoning those OTHER kids OVER THERE (you know, the bad ones) to Seneca Valley HS.[/quote]

Look you can take it however you want but it doesn’t dismiss the truth. Neelsville MS has issues. WMHS has issues. SV has issues. A lot of those issues are behavior and stem from economics. I say this as someone who has actually worked at WM and other title one schools. Sorry I’m not sorry about the issue of rezoning. There are “bad” kids everywhere but until you actually work in title one and non title one schools you will never understand the difference. [/quote]

WMHS is a mess!

But do you really believe that rezoning will help?  Moving pockets of kids to schools with higher SES will not be an easy transition.  You see it now.  Kids don't mix, which creates tension and makes schools w/in schools.  It's actually quite sad, as you see FARMs kids in the cafeteria during lunch while the "lunch box" kids are elsewhere.

don't have the answer . . .

But this is simply - to resurrect a non-PC term - busing.  This is exactly the reason why magnets were created.

bottom line - Likes attract likes.  People move in similar circles.  And in this case, SES circles run the school system.[/quote]

You misunderstand, I would prefer Clarksburg to house the kids in Clarksburg. The rezoning to Clarksburg is an issue. [/quote]
