[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very unfair to Whitman families.

More diversity should be added in Whitman. Leaving it untouched is a missed oppurtunity.[/quote]

I think the vast majority of Whitman families disagree. Most just won’t publicly admit it. [/quote]

Well, people buy in Whitman for certain reason. If they wanted diversity then they would have bought some where else.[/quote]

But to that argument, no school boundaries should change. Any current homeowner who bought into an area that is now being changed has the same argument. And then nothing ever changes. So while I don’t disagree with the premise, it has to only apply to some and not others, so it’s an entirely circular argument. The Whitman families just seem to have extra interest in preserving their status. [/quote]

Nothing ever changes if you think individual schools can’t change without changing the demographics of who attends.

So why not improve schools that need improvement?

Or are you saying only white rich kids can improve schools?[/quote]

I was PP and I actually agree with your point here. My point was that your first point applies equally to Luxmanor and Farmland families who bought for WJ and now have Woodward. It’s not just Whitman. So it’s a circular argument if you apply it broadly, because then no boundary changes. [/quote]
