[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a W-school alum and current DCC-bounded resident, you could not pay me to send my kids to a W school.  Nope.  No, thank you.  Why do you assume those of us who live here even want that “opportunity”?[/quote]

+1, There is nothing that special beyond bragging rights.  I went, which is why we purposely choose not to live in that area.  I don't get why people assume things.  We comfortably make enough to but most people wouldn't guess our income.[/quote]

My children attended a W school and we definitely don’t think that the education was anything to brag about.

What I don’t understand is the idea that parents at a school can challenge whether or not a school is in a consortium or not. I wouldn’t care if students wanted to come to our school. Perhaps it would create greater diversity. If MCPS wants outside boundary students to come to a W school then there’s nothing parents can do to stop it. However, we would need more classroom space and teachers because our school is overcapacity.[/quote]

Except most families move to that area to get away from the schools in the consortium and then it’s a transportation issue.  [/quote]
