[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least Patty was trying to solve the problem.  Maybe it wasn't a solution people liked but she was trying to find one.   She was listening to all of the Haycock parents' complaining about overcrowding and how awful the renovation was going to be.  She was trying to give them a little extra indoor space and some breathing room for the renovation, while at the same time solving her constituents' problem.  It was not a perfect solution, but she was trying.  Did you expect her to blow off her constituents' concerns?

Shame on Janie for not engaging in any creative problem solving.   Janie knew what she wanted to do and she shoved it through rather than trying to find something that could work for everyone.

Oh and by the way, Janie knew about the proposal before last Friday, so why didn't she mention it to her constituents if she's oh so good at public engagement? [/quote]

Oh, Louise, you are still in la-la-land.  Patty has shown up at WHICH Haycock renovation meetings?  Which PTA meetings?  Oh, that's right: she hasn't been at any of them.

Parroting the angriest and most vengeful parent suggestions (if Cluster 2 kids have to go to Lemon Road [i]then you will ALL go to Lemon Road, ha, ha, ha)[/i] is not statesmanship.  It's not good policy.  But it makes people feel like you're an advocate... without actually having to do the tough stuff of politics.  You know, compromise.

The right solution is a compromise.  It hasn't been shoved down anybody's throat.  There is no solution that works for everyone.  Sorry, Louise, keep pitching those dreamworld suggestions... but we see right through you.[/quote]

You're right.  A compromise would have been a good solution.  Where exactly have the base parents compromised?  The Cluster 2 parents agreed to having the rising 3rd graders go to LR and now they are being asked to give again and send all of the kids there?  Why should Cluster 2 parents be the ONLY ones giving?  What are the other Haycock parents giving?  It's not a compromise when only one side gives.[/quote]

Well the thing is Haycock families have been compromising over the last 5 years as more and more out-of-Haycock students have come to the AAP center there and the school has been more and more overcrowded. Haycock neighborhood children will have spent up to 5 of their 7 years at Haycock in trailers rather than in the building so out-of-neighborhood students can be there, etc.   I think that is plenty of compromise.[/quote]
