[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a bullshit letter. We see right through this hey keep all the rich white school is the same and don’t rush anything else. GTFO[/quote]

Huh?  How'd you get that from the petition?  It's not about favoring rich white schools at all.  Did you read it?[/quote]

NP- As an upcounty resident who read the petition and the comments about 50 MCCPTA delegates, I won’t be signing this petition despite agreeing with some of its points.  Why?  Because it seems to overwhelming focus on certain areas and not take into account the needs of many others parts of the county.  This is evident by calling out Silver Spring and the DCC without even a bit of acknowledgement that others in the boundary studies experience split articulations.  Further, 50 MCCPTA delegates when there is more than 200 schools, mean there vote represents less than 1/4 of the districts schools.

Folks are constantly talking about MCPS needing to reach out and communicate more and better.  Seems the same can be said for this effort against MCPS.[/quote]

You seem really triggered by other people advocating for their communities. We're not going to stop just because you want us to stfu.[/quote]

DP.  But pot…kettle…African American.[/quote]

Huh? I have no problem with up county advocating for itself. PP doesn't seem to want to do that, just attack DCC parents.

Funny how so many people are so angry the DCC doesn't want to lose its programs but nobody has a problem with all the special classes at wealthy schools that most other schools don't have.[/quote]

What makes you believe that people don’t have problems with the wealthy schools have classes that others can’t access? Once again ya’ll seem to be making statements that are false in nature without doing any research to understand the other parts of the district?  Oh and no one said you had to stop advocating for your community.  What they said was they wouldn’t be joining you since you’ve made it crystal clear in you and the DCC against everyone else.[/quote]

Huh?  What makes it seem like it's the DCC versus everyone else?  It's a petition from DCC folks calling for a better regional program process and fairer boundaries.  That helps everyone, right? (Except for rich people/schools who are overly favored now, but even there, it's still probably only going to affect a small number of people negatively.). Super confused why upcounty people are taking a down-county petition as some kind of attack on them.[/quote]

They assume everyone wants to go to their schools, but cannot afford it and we should be grateful to have our kids bussed to their schools.[/quote]

I am not a DCC advocate but just to understand, why is “they”?  It feels like there is a portion of schools who are not being heard.  I’m interested in what the rest of the county outside of region 1 is thinking.[/quote]

Then go ask them? Why do you expect other parents to go around and survey other parts of the county and then report back on DCUM?[/quote]

I am asking them.  Why would you assume they wouldn’t also be able to speak on DCUM?  They are obviously chiming in on this thread.[/quote]

Your response is nonsensical given the post I was responding to.[/quote]
