[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The basic point that seems to be lost here is that Wootton has been a too performing school that improves the prestige of the MCPS system.   Why would anyone want a school like that closed?   The name at least should be preserved, which would carry the prestige forward.  However there in lie the issue.  One of the agendas here is to get rid of the name, even if that means erasing the prestige. Why have top, Nationally recognized schools when we can have mediocrity?[/quote]

MCPS is being run by people who neither understand nor value the role prestige plays. Their leadership is shortsighted, dismissive of long term consequences, and singularly focused on equity for its own sake, without regard for excellence or outcomes. They are also undermining programs that took decades to build like the Blair magnet, a nationally recognized and highly respected program on track to be dismantled, sacrificing proven success and reputation in the name of equity.

There is nothing equitable about our schools and saying only wealth and prestige matters speaks volumes.  All our kids deserve the same strong programming in high school.  What are you worried about?  Other kids surpassing yours?[/quote]

Sure we need all schools to be strong but taking down the strong one is not the solution. Instead of making all schools strong, they’re on the way to make all schools weak. [/quote]

No one is talking about taking down your so called strong school.  They are offering to move it to a new location - nothing else changes.  They only offered because parents like you had a tantrum over the condiditon despite it getting regular updates.[/quote]
