Brent parent here – I don’t really see a wagon to jump in right now.  With my kids in the testing grades I need a solution immediately.  I don’t need the promise of a plan that will initiate an action that will create a study that will improve a program that will increase enrollment that will improve a school.  I just don’t see Jefferson, Eliot Hine or Stuart Hobson as options in their current incarnations.

I want nothing more than to keep my children in neighborhood schools growing up with their friends.  Right now, I am not sure how that happens.

I totally agree with you.  We were in a "good" Ward 6 school.  I liked that we were keeping our kids in the community and that we could still live in the city.  But, something happened around grades 3/4.  Our child, who had loved school, became bored and unhappy.  My child now takes a bus across town to attend middle school.  It is not the best situation -- children need sleep and with homework, activities, and the long commute sometimes sleep is what gives.  Of course, if all Ward Six residents sent their children to the local school and worked to improve it, we could have a great middle school option in Ward 6.  People like my family while doing what is best for our children are part of the problem.  [/quote]
