[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My only point is, the rest of DC should not care one way or another how things turn out for Crestwood, and no one should consider it a victim or a prize.  It is an asterisk and an afterthought.[/quote]

I agree that there is no reason for anyone outside Crestwood to care about Crestwood. Clearly, however, it has been victimized by the proposed boundary changes. You have to be willfully ignorant to suggest otherwise. You are more than welcome to think of us as an asterisk. We probably don't think much of you either. But, don't expect us to stop making our case simply because you have judged us unworthy.

Point being, I don't think anyone else should be particularly interested in changing any larger principles or plans for Crestwood's benefit.  Crestwood should go out and get its exception on its own if it can.  But I don't want to see plans to open a middle school or new high school slowed down, rules for access out-of-boundary, length of grandfathering, etc., for this number of kids., who just like the Hill families with Eastern, won't use the local system and will go their own way even after they win concessions about, e.g., Eastern.[/quote]

I don't recall asking for your help. Since you have presumed to make decisions regarding my children's educational opportunities, can I make choices for yours? I've thought all along that we should play by the rules and think beyond our own self-interests. But, if nothing else, you've convinced me to think otherwise. I think your advice is good: "Crestwood should go out and get its exception". Thanks. We will.
