[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just has to hold on until 2021 (which I know isn't thrilling for the people currently living it). Once Reed opens, as long as the SB doesn't screw things up with option sites, I think one of the goals will be to get rid of trailers at McKinley.[/quote]

As I pointed out a month or two ago that means over 1,000 kids will have spent part of all of their elementary experience in that disaster. [/quote]

There's room at a few SA elementaries. Families in the MCKinley zone are choosing to live there and paying a premium to do so. Just move. That's what people tell SA families who aren't satisfied with their local school situation.[/quote]

When we moved into the neighborhood we were zoned for Tuckahoe.  Then Nottingham.  Then McK.  So...you're very much mistaken that we paid a premium to live in the McK zone.  [/quote]

You're paying a premium to live in any of those three schools zones.[/quote]

You don’t know what I paid for my house, but what does it even have to do with the discussion at hand? Anyone who pays “a premium” deserves to go to an overcrowded school?  Otherwise I need to move?  That’s absurd. [/quote]

You said the school is overcrowded. I said you could move to SA and go to a school at or below capacity. I don't need to know what you paid for your house to state a simple fact: people in NA pay a premium to live in crowded school district even though less expensive housing and uncrowded schools exist 3 miles south in the same school district. Me telling you to move because you're conplaining about crowded schools is as valid as NA parents telling SA parents who complain about "school quality" to move to fairfax. On the whole: get some perspective. You live in the wealthiest part of one of the wealthiest counties in America, and your kid has to rub shoulders with other advantaged kids? Boohoo. You'll get that slide too. Just be patient.[/quote]
