[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only issue here, is how do our elementary school students get to school?  This morning I was packing my pre-schooler and his nap roll in a car, to drive him to school, and another parent was unloading his pre-schooler with his nap roll to go to SWS.  How on Earth does this make any sense?  The Ann Goding, Ludlow Taylor,  and Logan schools were boundary schools for decades, until the child population dropped.   Now that the old buildings have been re-opened as public schools, they should be boundary schools.  Take a look at the old boundary map, the 3 schools coexisted just fine!  If SWS and Logan insist on staying lottery schools, then they should become charters.  In meeting with parents of SWS, [b]they said that they get 'better' kids using the lottery system.[/b]  I found that a sickening concept.  One parent actually said, that if all of the kids were in-bounds, that the school would be 'ruined'.  I am not making this up.  [/quote]

No one has ever said this.  If you were at the DME meeting, the most you heard was arguments for city-wide because o the diversity.

And - just calm down OK.  Why are you DRIVING your kid 3 blocks to Ludlow-Taylor?[/quote]

This family is not driving to LT.[/quote]

#mypoint   I smell a little hypocrisy.  And let's not call is "a quote" from SWS parents shall we?  It's the view of a disgruntles neighbor who never had anything taken away from her but has somehow convinced herself that she's being unfairly treated.  SWS parents are AWFUL aren't they? For wanting to give your child's birth-right spot to the kid from Ward 8.  A--holes.  [/quote]
