[quote=Anonymous]These are supposed to be neighborhood schools for a reason.  We live within a block of our school and because of the overcrowding (which you can plainly see every morning with the cars double parked along the road for out of area kids), and by overcrowding I mean 37 kindergardeners in a class with one teacher and no aid, most of the families are sacrificing and not taking vacations, drive cars well over ten years old with a couple hundred thousand miles on them and foregoing home repairs and lots of other necessities just to pony up the money for a private school they just can't afford so their children won't fall below the cracks.  You see you only get a few years for your children and if you don't want them to be some social experiment you then have to make choices that you would not ordinarily make.  We never in a million years thought we would use private school and worked really hard (and still do) to get into our neighborhood and enjoy that community feel to our local school.  Not the case, this is ridiculous, truly! Pick your neighborhood, make it the best you can and stop overcrowding the schools in other neighborhoods.  They were designed to accommodate only so many and I should have the use of my neighborhood school as long as I live there … period.  I don't care about your social experiments, if you want to pay my real estate taxes and volunteer in my neighborhood and at my school, then I will welcome your opinion.  Otherwise shut up and stay in your own neighborhood.  My children are not there for your social experiment.[/quote]
