[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, maybe there’s a deal to be struck here. Drew agrees to stop fighting it’s lousy situation in this process and the consequences for its students as long as the people in the people in the Fleet area agree to stop fighting their lousy high school situation in the Career Center process and the consequences for their students. Drew kids get the short end of elementary school but get zoned to the better high school, Henry gets the better end of the elementary deal but has to take the lesser high school. Seems fair. Or at least fairer than what Henry has been demanding.[/quote]

I have to agree, even though I don't really agree - if you know what I mean.  I do believe the criticism of Henry is merely exacerbated by the fact that it's these same people who have been equally adamant and obnoxious about the high school at the Career Center proposal.  Arlington Heights wants it all.  Yeah, I get that these things are located in your neighborhood; but give us a break.  You benefit from having all these things in your neighborhood whether your kid actually attends all the schools or not.  Walkable elementary; walkable middle; potential future walkable high school; walkable library; walkable recreation facilities - you never have to leave your 10 square blocks!  You get a community center and multiple fields and currently multiple baseball diamonds, tennis courts, basketball courts, the public library.  What am I missing?  Oh, yeah, multiple playgrounds in addition to nearby neighborhood parks.  But you don't get a swimming pool; so your kids are facing discrimination and injustice.[/quote]
