[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on if they try to keep a cluster model with articulation from ES to MS to HS the same for everyone. I hope they don’t and this is what finally causes them to break down those walls.[/quote]

What are the benefits of the cluster model? I've heard board members advocate for keeping it but don't really understand why MCPS twists itself in knots to accommodate it.[/quote]

So kids won't be separated from their ES friends if they articulate to different middle or high schools.[/quote]

Depending on where you live, its pretty common to separate in ES or middle school.  We are only going to MS with a handful of kids from ES and it will be the same when we switch to HS.  Not a big deal.  In some cases that's a good thing.[/quote]

Sure, sure.  Let's move kids around to as many different schools as much as possible.  Kids don't need or even like stability, said no one ever.[/quote]

Schools all over the country get rezoned on occasion. It’s hardly like it would happen every year a kid was in school. The best way to address it is to rezone an the high school for an ES and that way truly disgruntled families have years to move.[/quote]

Sure.  MoCo families don't want busing either but we were discussing matriculation from ES to MS to HS and most kids and families value stability.  The boundary analysis said all of this. [/quote]
