[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who first commented on the school's interest in remaining in the same Ward.

It's not about being entitled -- indeed, I live in Ward 5 and drive 30 minutes through traffic to get my child to CMI.  I understand why parents DO NOT want to have to do that to send their child to a quality public school. And it factors into other areas of your life as well -- e.g., if you don't have family in the area, then it's signficantly more difficult to figure out child care if you're going to be out of town, or any other type of assistance with dropping your child off at or picking him/her up from school, when you're asking others to fight traffic across town. Honestly, it erases the "village" that helps parents raise children (particularly working parents).

That being said, I would LOVE for the school to move to Ward 5...but I absolutely understand that if that happens, there will clearly be parents who are unwilling to move with it.

Also, at the elementary school age, we're not talking about putting your kid on a bus for 30 minutes -- we're talking about many parents fighting traffic to cross town with small children and then commuting (again) to work. I do it....lots of folks do it....but it still sucks.  Would I prefer not to have to do it - absolutely. [/quote]
