[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dufief parents who now support H: Why were you all collectively pissed when the first options had send all of you to Crown. If Wootton is such bad conditions, you should’ve been happy with the original options?

I say those who want to go to Crown, should just go. Sounds like Dufief Travilah and Stone Mill want to go. Add in Rosemont and Fields Road and you got a high school of roughly ~2200, which matches perfectly with Crown’s size. This alleviates overcrowding at QO and Gaithersburg HS.

Leave Wootton to Fallsmead, Lakewood, Cold Spring families. Add in Wayside—half of Potomac Glen is currently split between Lakewood (which feeds into Wootton) and Wayside anyways. Then add in RM neighborhoods including the very walkable neighborhood of Horizon Hill and Fallsgrove, which is walkable as well (a lot of Wootton kids walk to Fallsgrove all the time). This justifies keeping Wootton as a cluster and alleviates overcrowding at RM and Churchill.[/quote]

Welcome, you must be new. Dufief has been involved in this since June. Dufief was "pissed" because they split Dufief- and only Dufief- out of Wootton. Dufief overlapa constantly with Stone Mill and Travillah kids, that is their community. But the first options only sent Dufief to Crown. If they had sent Dufief, Stone Mill and Travillah all to Crown that at least would have made geographical sense. If you had any idea of the history here you would already know why Dufief was so mad.

Actually not new :). Been following this issue from the beginning. Just find it ironic all these Dufief parents are talking about how happy they are getting a new school because Wootton is unsafe. Tell me does Dufief being the only school being sent make the Wootton building any more or less safe? If Dufief parents truly believed Wootton is unsafe, they should have been happy with the original options even if they were the only ones "lucky" enough to be districted to Crown. Or, is the argument about safety changing now?

I'm all for the most geographical sensible boundaries. Precisely why I did not buy in Dufief. By all means, send Dufief, Stone Mill, and Travilah kids to Crown. Don't send the rest of the kids who can walk to Wootton. Leave us in our "unsafe" building. [/quote]
