[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plus one. While I understand choosing one school over the other for a variety of reasons - athletics, ability to bike to school etc., several comments yesterday was disparaging about Westfield AP programs not "good enough". Someone  talked about how they can no longer bike back to home in between activities. I appreciate that this aspect is important to them. However, don't disparage Westfield that has good AP offerings, stellar sports and band team.

[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people cannot argue for their point without disparaging another school. You can argue you want to stay at a specific school for a variety of reasons on that you want to move for a variety of reasons without disparaging the other option.

You can point to clubs and classes offered at the school that you are at and say that you value those programs and those are not available at the new school. I have no problem with my neighbors that worry about moving to Skyview because there are no traditions or clubs or sports and who worry what the experience will be like, that is a valid concern. I see it as a great opportunity to take on a leadership role from 9th grade on and help build something. I think it will be a great experience. And he can start the clubs he wants that are not at SLHS but are at some other schools. That isn't a slight at SLHS, they have lots of great clubs and programs but no school can have everything.

Make your case to stay without destroying someone else. It shouldn't be hard. [/quote][/quote]

Walney Oaks giving biking to school a reason?  While the poor kids on 50 who live much closer and can walk to Chantilly are being kicked out?[/quote]

For real, this is a theatre of the absurd. They should have just put out sensible boundaries months ago and skipped all this nonsense. [/quote]
