[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this has to be mothers who made all their friends through their kids' friends and are anxious about their grown up gaggle being broken up.  I can see no other reason why people would be so over invested in this stuff.  The kids are and will be fine.  These are all great schools.[/quote]

Why are you pooh poohing this? Finding community is important in a transient area. [/quote]

+1. It is really gross how people on here discount the importance of community. Most of us are mercenaries who came here from elsewhere for the jobs and don’t have much family nearby. It doesn’t mean we’re not humans with real human needs. Community is really all we got. [/quote]

No one is discounting it.  The point is it should not cloud your judgment to the point where you are completely panicked about your kids going to a different school down the street and making it seem like it's so terrible for the children and the end of your life as you know it when it's really about adult issues and fear of change.

Your new school will also be a lovely community.  My kid switched elementary schools part way through.  Get this...I like the new one a lot better.[/quote]
