[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG I siged the petition as a west county resident because I think that the regional model is not ready for prime time -- but I have to say that the DCC people are driving me nuts. They take over every single thread that has anything to do the boundary or program studies. They make this all about themselves. They are alienating potential allies across the county. They are really terrible advocates.[/quote]

You understand there is a huge disparity in what your school has to offer and what ours offers?  The DCC gives kids at least a chance to be lottery into another school that better meets their needs.  We want equal opportunities for our kids.  Your kids have what they need; ours don't.  [/quote]

I'm telling you that this is a really bad advocacy strategy. Don't you have some lobbyists in the DCC that can advise you?

You should be trying to get people across the county to come to your side. This program analysis is terrible and you could easily do that by focusing on how it's terrible *for everyone* not just the DCC. Instead on every thread all of you focus on how awful it is *for the DCC.* That's not effective.

At this point you have me wishing I had not signed that petition. That's not what you want. You want people across the county on your side, not just people in the DCC.[/quote]
