[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couldn't agree more. To my mind, the Jefferson & EH boosters are becoming a drag on the Hill.  They preach to the rest of us, trying to shame and guilt us into supporting their cause.  They desperately want the city to pour tens of millions into schools that are mostly empty, and very likely to remain that way for years and years, and don't tolerate dissent.  Wish they'd go away![/quote]

So you are one of the people that called the mayor against moving up Jefferson's renovations. Really amazing, would love to hear your line of reasoning there. Some of us can't afford private schools and would like to have the option of staying local for our MS. I wish there was tracking and all of that good stuff too but until the entertain that, can't we at least have a nice school down there. [/quote]

With the Jefferson petition, it seems like a return to the days of whoever makes the most noice gets the money.  That's not an approach that prioritizes equity.  Why not just let the newly-established priority system (that takes into account need, equity, demand, etc) determine what school gets modernized?  And even better, why not ask for more money to go towards modernization so more schools could be updated?  As opposed to just asking for your specific, self-interest.[/quote]
