[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry to have annoyed you!  Now that I know it bothers you, I will definitely stop taking an interest and being involved in the discussion about things that pertain to my children's education.  Your opinion is so important and I'm very grateful that you shared.  Please let me know if you find anything else annoying so I can make sure nobody ever does it again. [/quote]

I'm not the PP you responded to, but it's been amazing to me how over the top some parents have been.  I've been to a lot of the meetings and followed listserve discussions here and on MONA.  Many parents have preferences and have articulated reasons for moving or not moving particular planning units.  Others have been far more dramatic, I literally have heard parents loudly say "You are destoying neighborhoods and ripping apart communities!"  I've heard people ask if their 2yr olds can be grandfathered.  Personally, I feel like that level of histrionics is uncalled for.  I live in a boundary neighborhood and we aren't destroyed by having kids in the neighborhood at two different schools.

IMO we should all take an interest in our childrens' education, but the attitudes of some parents during this process have actually been really shocking to me.[/quote]
