[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is no one else in the Shepherd Elementary boundary concerned that our Ward 4 elected leaders aren't fighting to keep our rights to Deal and Wilson, and are instead focusing on asking the city to improve Ward 4 schools?[/quote]

You should be worried. This is what happened in Ward 6 where Tommy Wells and then Charles Allen were more interested in boosting Eastern and schools in its feeder pattern than keeping their constituents in-bounds for Wilson. They screwed a bunch of their own voters over to gain support from CHPSO and now years later none of those families send their kids to Eastern either.[/quote]

Yes! This is the right thing to do. Wilson for Eastern neighbors? Come on. In Ward 4, work for Ward 4 schools and not how best to route smart kids to Tenley.

Signed, a Ward 4 father.[/quote]

So you think Oyster kids should go to Cardozo and Key kids should go to a new Ward 2 high school right? What about ward 4 families that live closer to Wilson than Coolidge? Yes, you're a ward 4 dad but obviously not a Wilson IB dad. You are being selfish just like anyone else advocating for their self interest. There is no rule that says high schools have to be strict to ward zones. [/quote]

+1. Wilson/Deal are not that far from Shepherd.  I take my young kid to a class there on Saturdays, and I can get there in 12-15 min from my house zoned for Shepherd.  I know during the week will be a little longer, but still not that far.

Also, let's not forget that some of Ward 4 is WOTP.  Should they also be moved to a high school within their ward?[/quote]

I must be even closer to you. I get to Deal NOW in the mornings in about 8 minutes (although I am AT the park). It would take me 12-15 minutes to get to Coolidge in rush hour. [/quote]

15 minutes in traffic rather than 8 is indeed a heavy cross to bear.  :roll: [/quote]

Yes that’s 30 minutes out of the way. It’s not going to happen any time soon so this conversation is moot.[/quote]

You know you sound ridiculous, right?  :wink:

I see math is not your strong suit - Wilson has clearly failed you. [/quote]

You’re an ass. 15 minutes each way the opposite direction of my commute = 30 minutes. Your comprehension skills are lacking.[/quote][/quote]
