[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's picture a world where major league baseball was a not for profit organization.  Everything would be done for the good of the game only.  in this scenario, the league would have even more incentive to preserve successful teams like the Yankees and their legacy.

It is not in the best interests of MCPS to "Disappear" one of their most successful schools. It lowers the overall quality of the school system.

We at Wootton are not entitled.  Let someone else have the new building.  Giving it to us would be taking from those who need the new building more.   We are fine where we are with minor repairs.[/quote]

People will accuse Wootton of being entitled no matter what. Take the crown, you’re entitled.” Refuse to move, you’re entitled.” Apparently, simply existing as a successful high school in MoCo is enough to be labeled wrong

haven't see a post that states: "If Wootton parents get Crown, they are entitled."[/quote]
Saw it numerous times in this post. [/quote]

I think what has seemed entitled is that there were a lot of Wootton families who didn't like the first set of options and complained that none of them fixed their building problem which was the biggest deal ever.  Then Option H came out, which seemingly solves both problems (keeps the community together and provides a new building) and there was squawking about not wanting to be with Gaithersburg HS students or to lose "W" status from a new name. And then a lot of statements that if your kid doesn't go to Wootton or Crown, it shouldn't concern you... not recognizing that this is but one piece in a bigger puzzle that affects everyone on this side of the county.  Option H reverberates to almost every family in this half of the redistricting map.  It's the whole sequence of complaints and retorts that has seemed entitled.  [/quote]

You mix up the CIP testimony and option 1-4, A-D. Nobody was complaining the options don’t fix Wootton. Wootton PTSA was testifying in CIP hearing the same time as A-D was out. They’re testifying because this year Wootton was removed from CIP.  But then MCPS is the one who mixed boundary study and CIP issues to introduce option E-H just shortly after A-D[/quote]
