[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently in bounds for Wilson, and site wise the Francis Stephens campus is an upgrade.  I put a lot of weight on proximity.  Sure the place could be fixed up a lot, but that is easy enough the council has a lot of cash to throw around it seems, but in terms of geography I like it.

Note, I will likely be drawn out of Wilson as will a lot of people living in the down town area. [/quote]

You live IB for Wilson because of historical idiocy with boundaries. Wilson's boundaries now encompass half of the city.

[b]I'm glad you would find a FS HS as better, location-wise, from your point-of-view. Do not for one minute think your view is representative of the vast majority of Wilson IB attendees. [/quote][/b]

Choice sets! [/quote]

Who cares if you are glad or not, or even if you mean it.  The point is some previous poster stated that a Francis Stephens HS location would not work for anyone in bounds for Wilson, while i may not be in a majority I am hardly the only one, this largely a function of size of the boundary.

Also the IB Bounds non - attendees may also have something to say about why they did not choose Wilson, and it may have some thing to do with geography. [/quote]

This is a childish justification for your largely pointless post. I don't believe anyone said a new location would not work for [b]ANYONE [/b]IB for Wilson. And, if they did, I have confidence that every sentient reader correctly inferred that the author didn't mean, literally, everyone. This seems like an ex post explanation for hearing yourself talk (or, more apropos, reading yourself).

Perhaps you misread. (I've already admitted above that perhaps I misread.) I recall a poster commenting that students IB for Hardy would face a considerably more challenging commute going to Francis-Stevens than the currently face going to Wilson. Geography (and transit), as you imply with your final sentence, matter immensely.

Your point about Wilson being geographically terrible for some IB families is sound. It speaks to removing these families from Wilson and giving them a better-located alternative. This is precisely what the DME is proposing by removing SW from the catchment basin for Wilson.

When you recall that this whole hare-brained idea was hatched by someone hoping to peel off better prepared students with which to pool his/her children (as opposed to the currently-failing school), you'll realize that we've already spent too much time discussing this lark. [/quote]
