[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you care about making change, you need to do something serious like write a coherent document with data-backed arguments, not argue on an anonymous message board. [/quote]

Yes this.  Or attempting to get others (even those on DCUM) to comment favorably for the DCC option of choice in the feedback forms.  You can try to make allies but that’s apparently not your jam.[/quote]

And why should I as a non-DCC parent care about this? How does it affect me? Is it going to cost more and impact my property taxes? Is it going to lead to more congestion? Is it going to impact the boundaries of my cluster? And by retaining it, who is this helping? A few privileged strivers or the broader DCC? Or not and just whine about persistent inequality between clusters. [/quote]

Why should I take time to explain to you what has been explained ad nauseum on this thread? You don't need to read this thread or post here if you don't care.[/quote]

Because the alternative without a clear and concise summary of why any non-DCC parent should care is that I will advocate against any change from the current proposal. Why f do I care if it doesn’t affect me? A few squawking parents pissed that their striver doesn’t have the same options now? Yeah okay. Sounds like they should just move to a different cluster like the rest of us. [/quote]

"Why should I care if it doesn't affect me?". Is that really how you live your life?

Honestly this doesn't affect my family that much either, besides a possible split articulation that is disappointing but I would be happy to live with if it was part of a fairer option that affected all schools relatively equally or benefited the worse-off schools the most.  But I am still pissed off at how these options hurt Kennedy, Wheaton, and Einstein and willing to throw down in solidarity with the families from those schools. [/quote]

Sorry, but that’s  how most people live their lives. This isn’t Pollyanna. Appealing to one’s self interest is actually a great strategy if you’re looking for allies. [/quote]
