[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Einstein is a fine school.  I don't know why so many people from elsewhere say such terrible things about it.

I do find it ridiculous about how many Einstein people brag about how secret rich they are (maybe so, but income data is available by census tract so doesn't really relate to discussion of the whole community) and how they are constantly agitating to have TOK zoned to their school (if it's so great as-is, why do you even care)?  I'm not TOK btw.

I'm guessing it's just status anxiety, maybe justifiable given how big of jerks some of the other posters attacking the school are.[/quote]

The point is that people are saying folks on the other side of the tracks are poor and not their equals.  Many of us are very comfortable but have different priorities.  I want my house paid off, not have to worry and be able to comfortably pay for college and graduate school as financial aid and merit are not a given.

Most of us don't want the redistricting of TOK as Einstein is already overcrowded.  The overcrowding without a renovation is going to make things worst vs. better.  But, doubtful Einstein will get a renovation soon given the population vs. a W school, even one that's had multiple renovations.[/quote]

The problem with your analysis is that you are looking at 1 or 2 school boundaries assuming all other boundaries remain static. More than likely WJ and woodward will ease overcrowding in the Churchill and Whitman clusters and areas to the north and east of Einstein’s will be assigned to other clusters further east and north making room for ToK to have a much shorter bus rides for their HS students.[/quote]

This isn’t the plan according to the BOE. Woodward is for DCC and WJ overcrowding.[/quote]
