[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pretty aggressive. You must be threatened by the boundary changes. I am sure Columbia Heights was convening at their "town square" Columbia Pike in the rain as well....[/quote]

The difference is the CH families never claimed to be walkers. They have very simply asked to keep their community together, because they supported giving Nauck a neighborhood school in Drew and sacrificed their physical neighborhood school building location to accommodate giving Nauck a neighborhood school. They were told the whole Henry community would go to Fleet. CH families also haven't retracted comments from the walk zone survey stating they need a bus b/c it's too dangerous to walk to school like the SF families did. CH never called out another neighborhood and pointed at them and demanded APS create a map that moves them. CH families are classy, intelligent and polite and have been so from the start and no I don't live in CH, but I sure do respect their grace and composure. [/quote]

No, Henry folks have behaved just as badly. Nobody can claim any higher ground here. We all use what we got. There’s no special zone of morality in CH. [/quote]

Don’t stop with the accusation. Back it up with facts and examples, please. [/quote]
See the multiple threads after proposal 2. See more after proposals 3-5. Poking fun at a fundraising 5k. Attacking the motives of Drew PTA president. Ask yourself who has the motives to attack SF for doing whatever they can do to stay at their neighborhood school. It’s not rocket science. Nobody wants to go from a “better” school to a “worse” school.  For their kids and for their property values. Everybody is fighting the same fight. Henry just had a chance to jump the gun. It’s easier to be magnanimous when you’re playing with the upper hand. [/quote]
