[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree Drew voices didn’t say they wanted or didn’t want certain planning units. Most were clear that they hoped newcomers would join them in creating a strong new school. But I think it also was clear in the process that this is the Nauck school and the other planning units are an afterthought. I hope all are welcomed at the new Drew and newcomers aren’t shut out as outsiders whose opinions are simply Whitesplaining. [/quote]

You must have missed it when the Drew PTA president stood up at a boundary discussion at Kenmore where she was surrounded by furious Abingdon parents who had just been hypothetically zoned to Drew and she said (not quoting) these people don’t look like my school (to the delight of the Abingdon crowd), or the UMC Nauck residents who send their kids to Montessori calling for certain neighborhoods to be drawn into Drew (a school they don’t even or will never send their own children to), there WERE Drew voices out there during the process and guess what, they got their way. Notwithstanding all of that, there is a great welcoming committee for the new Drew school and fortunately it doesn’t include the “whitesplaining” crew from AEM (who also don’t send their kids to Drew).[/quote]
