[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Split articulation is without a doubt a terrible thing. In the present, we know it creates bullying situations. For example, at CJMS, there is a clear negative situation where Churchill-bound students bully the Wootton-bound students. Creating this for MORE high schools will only make it much worse. In addition, splitting kids apart to join a new group only to split them back off again to join another group (Option 2 does that) will significantly impact cohort cohesion. The students won't make strong bonds. After-school activities and extracurriculars will be impacted because teams will be split anyway. This is just bad[/quote]

Cabin John parent. I don’t recognize this at all. I don’t doubt that is your experience but it’s definitely not common in the school. My kid has friends from all 4 feeder schools and honestly I doubt he’d know (or care) which high school they go to in a year.

However, I agree split articulation isn’t great for school community, the distance some kids are traveling to CJ makes socializing  harder, the 2 sets of high school news / events / community stuff is messy and I’m sure administrators hate it. Unfortunately with CJ and Hoover so close to each other, it’s inevitable. [/quote]
