Honestly, it's just hard to have much sympathy for the CC parents on this issue (especially when presented with such dramatics).  These same parents would probably say that their schools are better than the vast majority of the other schools in the county, and assuming that is true, you're doing pretty darn well.  [/quote]

CCES parent here.  I would agree that the Triad is better than the vast majority of schools in the county.  However, just because its seen by many as better does not make it an acceptable reason to screw over kids.  Is it so wrong that I am not satisfied with being above average or even better than "the vast majority" of the county as PP put it, or that I want the absolute best for my children?  I don't care what the county-wide FARMS rate, or racial makeup is, or capacity.  I care about the school my kids go to.  And if they're getting screwed over, as I believe option 7 is doing, then why would I not voice my concerns?

Ultimately, I think its a fair point being made by many PP - localization matters or diversity matters.  With option 7 the super is talking out of both sides of his mouth.  If they want to keep things local, readjust the ass-backward districting at RHES / CC / NCC and stop the bussing from CC to SS and vice versa.  If they want to keep diversity, then move RCF to Westland.  [/quote]
