[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a ward 3 parent I am getting a bit tired of hearing I can see it from my house/ it is two blocks from my house arguments. There is a larger picture of education needs in this city than just your family. Providing feeder rights is a way to ensure that children that have benefited from the OOB lottery continue on a strong educational path with their elementary school peers. We need this in this city. It is equally compelling to me to providing sibling entrance to schools families have been zoned out of a particular school. I am not an oyster parent/family, but I find the idea of their changed feeder to Cardozo much more disturbing because it it's academic achievement is so far below Wilson. THAT is unacceptable even though they cannot "see" Wilson from their front yards. This is the kind of myopic thinking that makes the rest of the city dismiss ward 3 as completely self interested twits. [/quote] Except that the self interested twits pay the lion's share of the tax bills while other spend their time smoking crack[/quote] You are myopic ignorant and verging on RACIST except you probably do not even know that Oyster is full of high achieving Hispanic students that now feed into Deal/Wilson and will not under proposition B, the most palatable proposal to Ward 3 parents. Those parents (Oyster) are in our cub scout den, they are Hispanic, but please tell me how a pediatrician who is an Eagle Scout with 3 kids who has been practicing here for who knows how many years and is someone these Ward 3 parents would trust with our kids has been "spend[ing] [his] time smoking crack" you idiot. Way to contribute to the discussion and stoke the divide and conquer fires...........[/quote]
