[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Save Shaw folks are preoccupied with having been wronged. Prevents them from talking about any other solution than clawing the Shaw site back from Banneker. It’s a shame because a lot of effort has been wasted on a hopeless cause. [/quote]

I think it is about time downtown and the mayor's office faced some blowback for their habit of treating families and schools like crap.  Hopefully this results in some real improvements at Cardozo.  But that is the compromise result and Save Shaw should keep the pressure on, not fold.[/quote] Save Shaw would be able to apply more pressure if they had a viable demand. As seen from this weeks oversight hearings their leverage is minimal. [/quote]

Why is their demand not viable?  Banneker should be allowed to take whatever they want, is that why?[/quote]

Banneker did not even 'want it" it landed in their lap during the modernization process. Obviously they want it now and even have become to feel entitled to it.

Nonetheless I agree with others who are noting the pure acrimony and little else of the SaveShaw MS twitter feed and ardent supporters. Such a waste of energy which could have been put to better use to get a good deal, and now all you have is a ungraded Cardozo as predicted. It is a shame that the "stand alone middle school" was either used as a strategy to get attention or a genuine demand, because it stoped you all from getting early political buy in for a compromise. And the politicians were looking for a compromise. [/quote]
