[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The consortium schools are chosen. If you are zoned for Sherwood and list Sherwood as your first choice, you would go to Sherwood. So there is no risk of any Sherwoord-zoned kids being bussed to the bad schools. 
The issue was that kids from the bad schools could choose Sherwood as their first choice, and if space is available, they would be able to attend.

And to the parent who feels.like this idea would ruin their weekly shopping get togethers at Harris Teeter, or negatively impact the craft beer parties at the football games, you disgust me.[/quote]

That’s not what I said.

Everyone is saying racism prompted Sherwood to opt out of the NEC. I merely suggested distance and a commitment to preserving a hometown feel were likely the driving force.

If you actually lived out here, you would realize it is diverse. You would also realize that nobody is interested in schlepping through traffic.

I think another poster nailed it by calling out the ridiculous notion that racist/sexist comments are limited to Sherwood. This is happening everywhere, including your diverse utopian schools (where other posters have pointed out parents segregate themselves and their kids).
