[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think anyone is trying to stick it to Luxmanor or Farmland. I don’t get that impression. That being said, there are ideas floating around that would clearly benefit them. These ideas are narrowly applied to “balance” FARMs in their favor. That is what is being called out.

It is fine that they are advocating for lower FARMs for themselves or for maintaining property values. But, it would be refreshing if they were honest about the actual reasons. That way, we don’t have to go in circles.

Of course, it isn’t clear who is writing any of this. So I use “they” loosely. [/quote]

Of course it isn't clear..it's an anonymous forum. You don't know who I am and clearly don't care..you want me to be from particular community so you can use that to subtly argue in favor of perpetuating racial segregation. I am from Silver Spring and not directly impacted by this, but I have an opinion. That doesn't fit your disgusting narrative, so you just pretend it's not true.[/quote]

I wrote the quoted text, but nothing prior. I’m not sure what narrative you're following, as this thread is a mess. Do what you want with that information. [/quote]
You know exactly which narrative I am referring to. That narrative is that the people who want to balance FARMS between Walter Johnson and Woodward are all people set on Taylor's recommendation to be zoned to Woodward and facing a higher FARMS rate unless this is changed.

That is not true. I know because I am one of the posters who wants them to balance FARMS between WJ and Woodward, and my child is and will continue to be zoned for Einstein.

Oddly you are insisting that everyone reveal their personal interests in what they are advocating for, but you aren't revealing yours.

I am in RM cluster. I wrote an email to BOE about balancing FARMS in WJ and Woodward as well. I will have no direct impact from any scenario.

Sure, most Woodward families will prefer lower FARMS and it will benefit house value as well, but for a minute lets forget about house value and who is giving ideas. Just do what's best for kids. I don't think concentrating poverty in one HS is good when we can easily balance FARMS between WJ and Woodward.

Just becasue idea is coming from Woodward community, which benefits them, we shouldn't be ignoring it. We should see if idea has any merit. Merit of ideas should be discussed and not who is bringing the ideas.

Yes, the idea shouldn’t be ignored. But its sincerity should be in question. Were they advocating before the issue directly impacted them? I would hope so, but doubt it. [/quote]
