[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think that the "triad" wants everything their way and is trying to pull in the Western half of the cluster when they really don't care. Yes, Somerset, Westbrook and Bethesda all supported Option #1 for the same reason that RCF supported Option #6, i.e. they want to stay at the closest school first and foremost. Now that Option #7 has been pushed forward, Somerset Westbrook and Bethesda are basically shrugging their shoulders because it doesn't look that much different to them than Option #1. [b]However, CCES and NCC are now upset that they have to go to school with poor kids. [/b]

You are so ignorant.

I've now spent 6 years of my life driving past my local primary CC school to go support my children and others in Silver Spring.  For you to downgrade and to call these children poor kids is just classless and distasteful.  CCES and NCC have been split to integrate ALL of our children affluent or not into one community.  It's not about CCES not wanting to be integrated, we are and we also have more sensitivity when it comes to describing the economic status of children.

For your information, I was one of those poor kids without a father growing up.  My mom used to tell me "we may not have much money, but you always have your pride and dignity".  You just took that away from those children.    [/quote]

There are many CCES families that are not upset with the option chosen BECAUSE our number 1 priority is keeping our kids together-- this means the CC kids with the Silver Spring kids; this whole discussion is spinning to make it sound like all CC families are against this.  not true.  What most CC families did not want is for split articulation once again. Our kids are split from Rosemary Hills to NCC and CCES in 3rd grade-- we don't want the kids to have to split again.  Some of the options would have clearly used the lower income kids as pawns to create what all of you are talking about as equity--equal FARMS rates--and that would have meant some kids get split up from their peers multiple times.  Many of us support the option put forth and think it works.  We want a diverse school.[/quote]
