[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have yet to see any parent make a case against boundary changes that doesn't involve dramatics over two things:
1) my snowflake shouldn't have to move to schools because of friends.
2) I'm racist and paid $200k more for my house to not be with the poors.

Occasionally the data isn't good, and then the changes should be carefully considered.  But I think most changes shouldn't involve any parent input at all.  Because we are all led my emotion of our personal situation, not what is actually best for the school or the county or OTHER people who are coming behind us.[/quote]

And I have yet to see a compelling reason for boundary changes except:

1) I don’t care about any kids but my own, gimme a handout; or
2) screw whitey.

See, we can all be dumb reductionists like you.

If the school board had been responsibly changing boundaries as needed over the last 25 years, we might not have had to do nearly so many costly rennovations. That's hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that could have gone to teachers and programs.

THAT is the compelling reason for boundary changes.[/quote]
