[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be clear - neighborhood is not part of reggio.  A sense of community is.  And there's the rub I suppose - how people define community does vary.  Some people see it very geographically - sharing a common boundary; others see it more philosophically - sharing a common mindset.

I'm a current SWS parent, and I don't think proximity is beneficial for the school.  We're not a Ward 6 boundary school so we don't have Wells championing us and with proximity preference, it dilutes our city-wide argument and thus ability to get other council members invested in us - and thus the school gets lost politically speaking.

Are you a current SWS parent who got in because of boundary preference with the Cluster boundaries?  If so, how nice for you to take advantage of the chance to get in with proximity preference, but to champion a citywide school for others who have to get lucky in the lottery. [/quote]
Are you a parent who bought in bounds for Ludlow Taylor but are angling for a proximity preference for a new citywide school, championing a preference that will essentially deny access to the program to anyone but you and a tiny fraction of the city? See how it looks different to other people?[/quote]
