[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, ASFS has a lot of parents that can afford to make a $1K donation to their school and don't want to lose their investment.  They pat themselves on the back about the diversity, but they really couldn't care less if the diversity went away.[/quote]

But do they seem scared that more diversity is heading their way?  [/quote]

No, they don't. If they shift  the boundaries to make those closer to the school, it will get richer and whiter.  [/quote]

Right.  They talk about diversity as a reason not to shift boundaries when what they are most concerned about is losing access to their public school which allows parents to treat it like private (pay for for privilege).  The reputation of it having a ruling elite is well earned.[/quote]

How exactly do they treat it like a private? 
How exactly are they paying for privilege?
How do you know what concerns them?

Facts:
1. Many APS families choose their home with a school boundaries in mind - go read the countless threads about this on DCUM
2. Many APS families donate their time and money to their schools

ASFS is not unique in any way there. You just sound like you have a grudge when you make inaccurate, inflammatory comments like "pay for privilege". These parents are just like all of other involved parents in the county.

The parents started the petition because APS and the SB are rushing this decision and not looking at impacts before moving forward. They aren't even looking at numbers until the fall. Parents also want to be grandfathered in and want to establish a walk zone. Is that really all so terrible and unreasonable?
