[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't mind the volunteer base going down.  We went to GBE before, and they managed just fine.  Switching schools does seem like a bit of a bummer, but I would probably rather do that than deal with such overcrowding.  Also, Poplar Tree kids would go back to a school they know, and Colin Powell kids could go back to CP for the local level IV classes.[/quote]

Don't want to make this a Colin Powell / Poplar Tree discussion, but it can't be helped. The survey is about reducing overcrowding at GBW by moving ONLY  kids that have Poplar Tree as their base.  All things being equal, the same scenario has been going on at Colin Powell.  Hordes of kids come in from Colin Powell, though they have a local level IV citing better clubs, losing friendships with AAP students, less challenging work etc., at Colin Powell.  And yet., the proposal is to allow Colin Powell kids to have a choice in attending GBW / Local level IV. Of course they will choose the center.  I was at the meeting that was held in November and the figures showed that the number of kids coming to the center (GBW) from either school were the almost same ( less than a difference of 5).  The proposal to make Poplar Tree a center implies that the kids will be denied a choice of coming to GBW.  I just love the principal and the teachers at GBW and it will take a very long time,if ever to establish such a team at Poplar tree. Well, you can take Colin Powell as an example since kids still  choose GBW over their local level IV.

Added to this is the fact that the overcrowding is mainly due to the current grade 5 students (based on figures of AAP enrollment in the past few years) because the selection criteria including the test were a little eased.
How can one project that such figures will be in the future such that overcrowding will remain an issue? The figures of enrollment cited at the meeting were much less in the following two years.
