[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Haycock parent, is it too much to ask you all to be civil and sensitive to those who have to leave? It will be a hard transition for the kids and families, and for the second time in so many years for some. Try to put yourself in their shoes. Less gloating. More compassion. Try not to embarrass our school. [/quote]

It does feel kind of like the day after an election (I guess it was, in it's own way).  The candidates trashed each other for months and months, and the very next day the both both of them, victor and vanquished alike, are supposed to be magnanimous and reconciliation.

Everyone knows it's an act.  They still hate each other.

But I do wish people on both sides of this would assign blame where it belongs.  In boundary parents didn't ask for their school to be overcrowded.  Cluster two parents were never treated fairly, and in the end, they were again treated like a step-child.  It's BS.

But what do other parents have to do with any of this besides wanting the best for their children?

Again, it's the administrators that failed.  This problem didn't sneak up on anyone.  Years ago, someone looked at the data, made some choices, and simply said of Cluster 2:  "Man, it's gonna suck to be them."

Funny thing though...  How many Cluster 2 parent (or Cluster 1 parents, for that matter) do you think are going to give a rat's behind about any of this once their kids age out of the situation?  We all know there'll be another cycle of this garbage, but the vast majority of us will be long past caring.

In a way, we get the leaders we deserve.

How many of y'all voted in the last School Board elections?  How many of y'all even knew who the candidates were?

And now we're gonna piss and moan?

I guess that's all that's left.[/quote]
