[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m sure that ALL families don’t appreciate hearing negative attitudes about their current schools. For example, every time someone talks about Kensington schools and moving boundaries, they take the opportunity to bad mouth Einstein while at the same time bad mouthing Kensington families who don’t go to Einstein.

The Einstein families and students are proud of their school. Einstein is not “stigmatized.” Future speakers should take care not to openly criticize schools or families who’ve made a choice about where to live.[/quote]

Good grief, could you please get help for your deep insecurity about being zoned within Einstein and being looked down upon. [b]No one has even brought up Einstein.[/b] Even if they did what does it matter? We're you not aware of Einstein's scores, drop out rates and other issues when you moved there? Who moves into Einstein and then freaks out when they see people point out all the low scores? It would be like moving into the agricultural reserve and then freaking out if people said you lived out in the boonies. [/quote]

Actually, someone specifically called out Einstein when talking about this at the last meeting.

OP's point seems to be that some people who are pro-boundary changes seem to present Einstein as a school that needs additional higher income students.  As if somehow adding more higher income students will make Einstein 'better'.  Even though, the families who are already there, think Einstein is fine just the way it is.

We're not at Einstein, but another lower income school, and many families in our cluster feel the same way.  [/quote]

Yes, replace Einstein with Seneca Valley, if you’d like. Same issue.[/quote]
