[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VM parent here. I want my Hispanic kid to remain in the community that understands our needs. I prefer Woodward, as in joining together with our schools, some very much like ours, some different, to create something new. I think this is much better for my kids than joining an existing established community that is nothing like ours and being expected to diversify it, at the expense our own comfort and culture. Why is that so difficult to understand? You may not agree, but why is it impossible to understand that we LIKE our economically and ethnically diverse community and want to preserve it.

We have always been split with the MSMC so it is exciting to see the possibility of remaining together at one middle school, Loiederman, that many VM families already attend because it is the closest. Losing Wheaton as a home school is a bummer, but if changes must be made, it's understandable. There's a huge difference in moving to a newly created community and being shoved into an existing one.[/quote]

You will be showed into Tilden community or NBMS community. NBMS community is happy that under the current proposal it won't be them. And Tilden community is trying to change that since there is another high FARMs ES school in play. It is true, very few non-VM posters here care about your needs.

But what unique needs do you have in mind? [b]Other than wanting that everybody around you is also Hispanic[/b]. It seems that you are very happy with the current status, despite the fact that you have been one of the worst performing schools in the county and dropping. Is that what you want to preserve? If this was a great school as you portray it, other communities would be fighting over you and not trying to drop you like a hot potato.[/quote]

After putting VM in WJ, WJ will have 20-25% hispanic there. It's pretty good number for anyone worrying about lack of Hispanic in WJ.[/quote]
