[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dufief parent here.  I wanted to clear some things up.

We objected to options A-D because we were being singled out as the only school in the cluster who would have been moved.  The number of students that would have been sent to Lakelands and Crown was so small that we worried about our kids who are currently at Frost and Wootton having a small number of kids join them.  We were not worried about the make up of the students in options A-D.  We were also worried about all of the split articulations and the impacts that it would have on those communities.  A lot of those island schools already have become well connected to their current feeder middle and high schools.

We would have preferred options E-H that would keep us with Wootton.  A lot of friendships and activities are interconnected with our Wootton Cluster schools and we didn’t want to be cut off entirely.  [/quote]

As a non-Dufief bystander, I will also vouch for them that they repeatedly urged Save Wootton to coalesce around E or F before the superintendent’s recommendation and were told no because some members didn’t even want to imagine spending a single day at Crown lest MCPS pull a bait and switch and refuse to send them back (a thing which has literally never happened). Magruder would have been on board with this, FRES would have been on board with this. But the Wootton walkers were just so confident they could demand every little thing they wanted. [/quote]

Thanks for this, this is true. We certainly tried to push E and F but they wanted none of it. Specifically a small contingent of Stone Mill and Travilah. Pretty sure they are the ones now telling us to enjoy Frost. Wonder why they may be saying that...

And at this point all the Dufief hate just gives me life. Love that we love rent free in your head. [/quote]
