[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at TJ now.  The way the boundaries are now, some of her friends will go to WL and some will go to Wakefield with her.  Are other middle schools split like that?  I took those planning units that go to TJ -&gt; WL and put them in Wakefield.  Don't we all want our kids to go to high school with their friends?[/quote]

Apparently we all want neighborhood schools, just so long as that school isn't Wakefield. [/quote]

We all want to build community with our neighbors. So schools close to home and classmates sticking together are both good things.

Schools without entrenched poverty are a better thing. [/quote]

No one wants to bus their kid to the other side of the county. [/quote]

Again, I don't see what the big deal is.  If you take the bus already, what is another 10 minutes?  School starts early.  There is hardly any traffic at that time. I leave for work at 7:15 and its pretty easy going to the other side of the county. 
And it's not like if you live in a walking zone, you're kids will be shipped across town.  Aren't those planning units protected?

Depends what you consider walking. I live in a planning unit currently zoned for W-L but that could move to wakefeild. My kids haven't started school yet so who knows what will be going on then. But the kids in my neighborhood bike to school together. There's no way they could do that from here to wakefeild. It would split our neighborhood (ashton heights/lyon park) in half. [/quote]
