[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL at kids being ostracized years from now because parents disagree with boundary studies. I like H so 90% of the community is going to look down on my kid years from now? GMAFB. It's not that deep. Kim, there's people that are dying...[/quote]

It’s not. It was the pro H poster who first suggested that kids would be ostracized, which—I agree—is just wild.

The 90% was in response to that person.

I’m against H. But I’m not cool with calling kids losers or ostracizing kids.

If H is the chosen option, while I don’t agree, I would work toward building a close knit community.[/quote]

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but, even if H passes, wouldn't the current Wootton schools be in the majority? And also wouldn't they move into the building with all four grades while just 9th and 10th graders arrive from Fields Road/Rosemont?

So, if anything, DuFief/SMES/Lakewood/TES/Fallsmead will be setting the culture first and are unlikely to be the ones ostracized...[/quote]

PP here. Very reassuring to hear this viewpoint. I think community building will be more important than ever. I have a lot of concerns about the amount of awfulness being thrown at Dufief right now from the parkway parents. if not for that I would agree with you. [/quote]

Parkway parent here. One that lol was name dropped. Thanks to whoever did that btw. But I don’t have ill will against Dufief or anyone who supports H.

I don’t agree with H and I will continue to advocate against it. But not cool with name calling kids/parents or ostracizing kids/parents. Also not cool implying that other kids are less then, and not cool calling out Dufief or anyone else.

I think most of us parents on both sides are not crazy. We have more in common than not. Whatever the final decision is, I’m all for working to create a positive culture of kids.[/quote]

I think the issue is there is harm being done now and the not crazy parents who are anti-h might not be contributing to it but they’re also not taking a stand against it (and they do see it, as we all do both publicly and in their private planning threads). The anti-h parents who are concerned about an increase in the FARMS rate are vocal enough about it that it paints everyone in the anti-h movement with the same brush. And it leaves FRES and Rosemont families feeling like the Parkway parents are raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid having to send their kids to school with FRES and Crown kids. I fully believe that is not your intent but the harm is real and it hinders all of our ability to build that positive culture.  [/quote]
