What changes does option 3 bring for you and the people you know?[/quote]

I have yet to see a single person actually affected meaningfully by option 3 in favor of option 3. It’s all people who think they know what’s best for other people’s kids.[/quote]

I’m affected positively by option 3. My kids (very very young not even in school yet) would go from Wheaton to WJ. And it’s not really that far from us either. But I know that’s selfish - it really does seem like a ridiculous option that negatively impacts so many others so I realize it will likely not happen like it is drawn up [/quote]

Ours would go from Einstein to BCC, which I see as positive on one hand but negative in other ways.  Getting to Bethesda from our house in traffic takes significantly longer than getting to Einstein, so managing afterschool activities, school events, and even meeting up with their friends would be a real headache.  I also personally like being at a school where there we don't have to worry about "keeping up with the Joneses."  It's a traadeoff but given the option we'd rather our kids attend a school in our neighborhood.  If we had wanted our kids to attend Bethesda schools, we would have bought or rented an apartment in Bethesda rather than a house in SIlver Spring.[/quote]

Are you zoned for Woodlin.ES? There is a 5 minute difference right now between driving to Einstein from Woodside Park vs driving to BCC. Einstein is overcrowded. The Woodlin ES area is an obvious choice to relieve overcrowding at Einstein because you are not that close to Einstein and BCC is not that much further. [/quote]

Option 3 sends all of Woodlin to Northwood, not BCC.[/quote]
