[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, let me tell you something.  There are several families at Hearst now that live closer to Janney (an even BETTER school than Murch) than to Hearst.  Did they panic, get furious, try to take down the entire system? No, they didn't.  They walk their kids to school everyday.  They are active parents in the PTA and other committees and work to make the school even better.  They socialize with other Hearst families but also with their neighbors that go to Janney.

It will be OK.  Really, it will.[/quote]

Yes, but all of these families knew that was the case when they bought their houses.  I live one block away from the rezoning and never in a million years did I think my house would be zoned out of Murch.  Yes, Murch is crowded, but I'm 4 blocks away!  I, unlike many other people on my block, actually feel better about Hearst as a school than Murch because I like small schools and Murch is too big.  But the commute to Hearst is just not workable with our two WOHP, one car household.  [/quote]
