[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Everyone on AEM needs to calm down. There are Westover people making solemn vows to fight for Reed as neighborhood as if it’s their birth right. And other non-Westover people dissecting details of discussions from 8 years ago. Breathe. We’re all going to be alright.[/quote]

The biggest flipper outer routinely overreacts to a variety of issues, many unrelated to Reed.

But as God is my witness Westover will not take it on the chin again![/quote]

Oh the poor VICTIMS in Westover. Of course you are aggrieved. Not to have your very own neighborhood elementary school (after petitioning against one). Having to endure a (4 minute) drive to other (highly rated) elementary schools instead. Making do with your huge field, your very own library and a walkable middle school instead.

We all feel for you. [/quote]

Do you realize most people who live in Westover and have kids weren't here in 2011 when APS decided to build at Discovery?  That area has had a massive amount of turnover (old people leaving, new families coming in), which has contributed to the massive overcrowding at McKinley.  Also, while some where arguing against an elementary school, some were arguing to have it put IN Westover.  Those people were your collective "Westover" that you all like to refer to.  There isn't one Westover voice.  You pick the one person you find annoying (and every neighborhood has them) and then stereotype or act out a vendetta against them.  Grow up.

And, because it needs to be said a 5000th time, the school proposal APS put out in 2011 was one of the types of designs that never made it past the first round when an actual committee of APS, community members and county board staff got involved for new Reed.  [/quote]

The collective Westover voices sure are WHINY: "We must keep our trees!" (never mind the handicapped access). "We can't have a school here!" "We deserve a neighborhood school!" [/quote]
