[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you guys tolerating this?[/quote]

Tolerating what? Having to go to the school the house they chose to buy is zoned for? That's life. You can't just demand to be let into the schools other people pay hundreds of thousands of more dollars to live in.

Is no secret JH isn't desirable. People who buy there are well aware and buy there anyway. That's not tolerating anything, that's living the choice you made. [/quote]

Must be nice walking around so privileged!

My understanding of the question you poorly attempted to answer is why are people tolerating having two vastly different schools within a half mile of each other.

Also, another aspect youre ignorant of is plenty of people could have bought a house that was zoned for Maury, worked on their careers for 10 or 15 years and then had kids after the boundary changed. I know two such families.

But, tough sh*t for them, right?[/quote]

Well, yeah, kind of. That can happen to ANYONE at any time. Boundaries change all the time and new schools get built. This happens in communities all the time. [/quote]

Your admission is exactly why transfers do get accepted (despite claims by the nasty cabal of ladies here viciously trying to keep Maury as some exclusive club). Kids have siblings at the school, kids have after care nearby, kids have grandma nearby, kids have parents that work at the school, kids have connected moms and dads that play tennis with Gentry or Wilson. There are a gazillion reasons why transfers are still being issued and honored.

The funny thing is nothing will change at JH. You are a new comer and and ignorant one if you don't recognize that this is like attempt number 34 at remedying that sh*thole.

The white wealthy families at Maury under transfer or otherwise simply wont send their kids to JH no matter what. Call all the privates and speak with them about admissions. They'll tell you about all the families that flea because of this and middle school. If ACPS doesn't want a total brain drain then thhey should quit denying transfers. Transfers are the only way youre going to keep the smart kids that bring up the scores in the system.[/quote]
