[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a strange feeling that the CC families are ticked because they probably would have preferred to stay at Westland and would have been fine splitting off, but it wasn't PC to say that to the rest of the school.  Now they are stuck with what they see as a "worse" school.[/quote]

That's what happens when you operate in bad faith...[/quote]
I am not sure I understand who is supposed to be operating in "bad faith" here. The CCES families?

I am not a CCES parent, but personally agree with the PP that it seems CCES would be better off splitting up. But not because diversity or FARMS or any of the rest. The primary issue would be the fact that my kid has to travel to a MS outside the beltway when most CC residents probably live closer to Deal.

My take is that unless MCPS is fully committed to desegregation through busing everyone, then it shouldn't bus anyone. There are areas of the county now that are more affluent and white than CC, so the original intent of this busing plan that began 40+ years ago is basically not relevant anymore.

The school boundary issue could be solved much, much more easily if they just applied much more simple criteria. Draw a circle around each school, that is your boundary. If it results in one school being more crowded and a neighboring school being less crowded, then adjust the edges as necessary. A contiguous "neighborhood" should not all go to one school just because. That's it, done.

Everyone stops whining and then we can move on.[/quote]
