[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes - the Wootton cluster is finally getting worked up.  Hopefully it is not too late.

With regard to your almighty Churchill comments:  You are exactly right.  Churchill is unified and they take pride in their school.  They are defending Wayside and Potomac.   Perhaps Wootton can stick together in the same way?

The only approach that will work is to fight to keep Wootton, fully as Wootton (that is what the almighty Churchill would do).   You start compromising on the name, and jettisoning elementary schools and we are headed for closure.  [/quote]

Part of the issue was that Churchill had only one maybe two schools in question and it was all mostly the same goal.

Wootton is dealing with an entire cluster, with the feeder schools at different locations relative to the new Crown site and the current Wootton site.  Since the area is broader, the range of what people are supporting or opposing is broader too.  When the question used to be just one or two schools, the Wootton cluster did circle the wagons and insist on keeping all of it's schools.  It's one of the things that some posters are saying the Wootton cluster whined about.[/quote]

Exactly. No other school or cluster has been threatened with closure. What makes Wootton different? It’s the one mcps school with the most amount of Asians kids. As this thread shows, Asians kids aren’t diverse. Guess they are white? Asian kids according to this thread can also be used as tools to increase test scores.

O wait that’s why this is a civil rights issue. [/quote]

Diversity is more than skin color but it is in no way diverse in terms of demographics and skin color.  [/quote]
