[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you walk to a school that is less than a mile away?[/quote]
I thought OP said her house was  two blocks from Murch. It would be absurd to expect her to walk to some other school much farther away.[/quote]

Please. My IB is 8 blocks away.  It is just fine.  [/quote]
You're a nifty troll aren't you? Probably a fat ass who could use some exercise, in that case stroll your 8 blocks huffing and puffing to your fat heart's content. Not OP, but I'm with her. If an excellent school was 2 blocks away and there was some other school, good or bad, farther than 2 blocks, I wouldn't understand why I'm being routed to the farther school. [/quote]

But neither school is 2 blocks from the OP's house.  Another poster, was reportedly in a situation under a previous proposal that is no longer being considered that would transfer her away from Murch, even though Murch was reportedly 2 blocks from her house.  In the current proposal, the closest kids to Murch who would be moved would live at Albemarle St. and 36th St, which is 5 blocks or .3 miles from Murch, and less than 3/4 of a mile from Hearst.

As far as understanding why, it's pretty easy.  If the situation is Murch/Hearst, then the school that's somewhat closer to the OP's house is seriously overcrowded.  The other school has space for more IB kids.  Moving the boundaries will alleviate some of the crowding at Murch, and provide IB spots for students at Hearst.  If the schools are not Murch/Hearst, the reasoning is almost certainly the same. [/quote]
