[quote=Anonymous]You do realize that not all the kids who were rezoned are "wealthy," right?

Mosby Woods and Marshall Road have a sizable portion of kids getting free meals.  Mosby -- the base school -- the part that is now going to TMS, has a lot of ESOL/FARMS kids.  About 100 kids from Mosby get a bag of free food to take home every week.  It's not a lot of food each week, but these are the people who signed up to have their kids take groceries home from school.  There are more who didn't sign up, but still get free or reduced priced meals... like several hundred more.

I understand that the base school part of Jackson has a block of needy kids too.  But, please stop painting this rezoning as "wealthy people get what they want."  Have you ever been to Mosby Woods?  It's not a "wealthy" school.  It's middle and poor.  It's a good school.  But, it is not some snobby private school.  And Mosby IS the bulk of the kids being rezoned.

I'm sorry you have fewer middle class kids going to Jackson.  But, it's not always about class wars.   [/quote]
