[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with several of the previous posters' arguments is that transitions that take a "couple of years" can be 1/3 to 1/2 of your child's elementary education. I think it's great that Drew or Barcroft may eventually improve in terms of the long term impacts on the neighborhoods and the education of ALL children. But if I have the resources to leave or the choice to sit it and while that "transition" occurs, that is the choice I will make. Ultimately, I am in this for my children's education.  That has to take precedence. [/quote]

Okay, but if you're expecting all the rest of the county to help you keep your kid(s) in the school you prefer, you're wasting your time. That's all anyone is pointing out. The precedent with the boundary decisions has been set that they are tightening the geographic areas around neighborhood schools. If you happen to live in an area that has a strange boundary (where you're going to a school that isn't the one closest to your house), a holdover from the time when the county cared about segregation, consider yourself warned. And plan accordingly. [/quote]
