[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the "boo comprehensive at career center" poster is one of the people who argued against putting it at Kenmore, because they are making a lot of the same "screw the North" arguments.

You're not wrong, exactly. Some of those 22207 people be cray.  I'm from the north (barely) and I didn't support the Kenmore option if it is "less than," and won't support a career center 4th HS if it's "less than."  I'd be willing to send my kid to a school with facilities if it was less than 35% FARMS, though. Since pulling in higher income kids from the north is the fastest way to get the southern HS FARMS populations down, I'm not sure why you'd be against this. You do you, though. [/quote]

I was pro Kenmore,  because it had the space to be a full school and could be drawn away from Wakefield. I believe Wakefield would naturally somewhat gentrify if given a chance. I think the career center option torpedoes that chance.  You don't want to send your kids or a school with a higher than 35 % Farms rate? That's a pretty typical position. I believe the career center would proabaly have similar demographics, but it would be at Wakefield's expense.
