[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I am totally against H.   I was hoping for some passionate arguments to be made about how Wootton needs to stay Wootton.   Not hearing anything like that and this way worse than I thought. Several pages back a couple of Churchill people jumped into this thread.  I could feel their school pride coming through in their posts.  Could we get at least a little of that here?   Or is this all about commute times and new buildings? People in the walkable neighborhoods didn't pay extra for a 10 minute walk to high school.  They paid extra for a 10 minute walk to Wootton High School. At least they did at one time. I was hoping that could still be the case. Can someone at least get the band to strike up a rendition of the Wootton Fight song? Or are a bunch of people going to respond that they were unaware that Wootton even had a fight song?[/quote]

I couldn’t agree more and an equally disappointed. The walk zone people essentially drop their feeder schools like a hot potato. Despite their volume, they don’t represent everybody in the class, and I also thought keeping together would have been the priority, hence the pride. We were offered a brand new school and it’s possible that a few neighborhoods will ruin it for everybody. Or, they will be responsible for breaking Wootton up if this now goes in another direction. To meet a school is all encompassing, not just the physical location. But their argument is that the physical location makes it. I don’t see why Wootton could not be Wootton if the teachers followed, the students followed and were appreciative of a brand new school.[/quote]
