[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading through this thread, why are people so ticked at RCF families?  What do you expect them to do, advocate for something they don't want?  If I lived there, and someone asked me what middle school I want my kids to go to, I'd say the closer one.  Apparently a large portion of RCF wants to do that.  I understand that many think that opinion is misguided, but it is what it is.

Are you expecting RCF families to advocate instead for something they think is not as good for their families?  I mean, the other schools are advocating vehemently for their preferred option; why shouldn't RCF do the same?  It doesn't make them any more selfish than everyone else.[/quote]

Thanks, PP. RCF parent here. It seems like everyone is advocating for the option that works best for them personally, so I don't see attacking us as being unreasonable for doing so. Driving west across the county for school eventswould take me at least 30 minutes, and 10-20 mins extra ofdriving in traffic is a big deal to me - as it is to most of parents. If given the choice, I'd rather be at the closer school. Just being honest. I'm not horribly upset with the outcome and I'm not going to fight to have it changed either way - I think the superintendent's job to weigh the overall priorities and take into account all the schools' opinions. And he appears to have done so. We had always planned to go to Westland (as I presume we all did) so I'm not heartbroken however it turns out, but can you fault a community for advocating for what works best for them?[/quote]
