[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is easy to identify the outsiders who are claiming to be Wootton parents.  Well they are either outsiders or naive to the real estate market.   Nobody who knows real estate will deny that Option H will cost most Wootton neighborhoods potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in home equity. Some may not let that drive their entire decision, but anyone who says they don't care about that is either pretending to be Wootton, a renter (very small percentage) , or is extremely wealthy (and many of these people go private anyway). Any reasonable homeowner will factor this into their equation and 95% do.  Saying that you literally don't care about this or that the whole thing is about driving distance is hard to believe.  No need for troll response.  I realize you do not care nor does MCPS care.  I am speaking to those in the Wootton cluster[/quote]

Me again - in the Cold Spring, Cabin John, Wootton cluster and I DO NOT CARE!!!! Option H makes the most fiscal sense for the county as a whole. I cannot expect the county to think about my home value and you should not either. That is selfish.

I have lived in my house for over a decade and I am thankful for the equity built. If some of it disappears (which I do not think it will either way) so be it!

Horizon Hill families love RM and Cold Spring families will love Crown! [/quote]

You are probably the only cold spring parent who is for H. I also live there. [b]And Crown will be far below RM in performance if this passes. [/b]Why did you move to this area if you don’t care about the school rating? Might as well have moved to the GHS cluster if it wasn’t important to you.[/quote]
dp.. why do you say that?    Even if that's true, so what? Your kid will stand out. It'll be better for college admissions, trust me.

I live in the HH cluster, and one of my neighbors has lived here for a looong time during the time HH get rezoned to RM.   Lots of parents were upset because "it's a lower performing school."  Neighbor's kids ended up very very successful (doctors, lawyers,..)

Even if Crown becomes a lower performing school, and I doubt it will get lower than RM, your kids will still have a high performing peer group, and enough of them such that the school will offer the same amount of AP courses that Wootton currently has.

The reason why opponents of H from Wootton are called racist is because you think adding a few brown/black kids will degrade the school.  [/quote]

Signed that Cold Spring, Cabin John , Wootton parent that everyone thinks is a troll[/quote]

The signature-you are quite possibly the most annoying poster on this thread at this point. I assure you-nobody cares who you are or where you are posting from. [/quote]

I am only clarifying where I am from because many think that people like me do not exist. Just because we don't clammer for the front seat at the BOE or testify or speak on camera does not mean that we are not in touch with the BOE. Fingers crossed Option H goes through and we can take pictures of our kids in front of the new Crown high school in 2027 with our expanded community of school goers from Gaithersburg.

I will exculde my signature this time just for you - but you know who I am :)[/quote]
