[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why "get over it" is the correct response to a bad decision that shouldn't be ignored with both School Board elections and the actual implementation of the boundary shift happening next year.

Some folks really want this injustice forgotten.  Soon they'll be claiming those neighborhoods went to Thoreau "forever."  Or maybe they can't deal with the fact that the same SB members who claim to be social justice warriors were more than happy to consign GenEd kids at Jackson to a sub-par environment. [/quote]

You don't have to "get over it" altogether if you think it was wrong.  Go ahead and do something about it in the real world.  (suggestions have been made to make LJ the best it can be, run for school board, etc.).  Those who oppose it have stated their case over and over.  The decision has, in fact, been made.  It IS being implemented.  The point of "getting over it" is that opposers should recognize that THIS decision is done.  It's not going to be reversed in the near term.  So, doesn't it make sense to move on from arguing about what should have been decided on Feb. 22, and move on to what should be done next month, next fall, next year, next election?

You still have to deal with the facts -- even if you want change.  The fact is that every school board member in attendance voted for it.  So, you will have to get organized if you want to unseat all of them.  And then come up with a plan to help your portion of FCPS.

By the way -- speaking of facts -- about 50-60 rising 8th graders are transferring from LJ to TMS for next fall (not AAP).  There must be something going on (under the current situation) that 50-60 kids want to leave LJ in the middle of MS.  Improving upon THAT might be a good start going forward.[/quote]
