[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you think it was in my child's best interest.  If it was such a good thing, I wonder why you didn't consider a pupil placement to Lemon Road for your child.  After all, there would be kids from Haycock there and there was no benefit to your child being at Haycock as opposed to Lemon Road, Shrevewood or Westgate.

It's over and done and I have accepted it.  The only thing that really bothers me at this point is when folks like you can't acknowledge that it isn't as cut and dried as you are pretending here.

Boundaries change.  I get it.  Keep that in mind when you are on the receiving end of a boundary change.  I expect you will not complain or try to prevent it.[/quote]

I would love to pupil place my child at Lemon Road. Lemon Road did not have an AAP center before your child was moved there, so there would have been no reason for anyone to have pupil placed an AAP child to the school. I really don't know what you're still so upset about and why you feel your child had such a disservice. Your child (presumably at Shrevewood or Westgate and not Lemon Road) went to Haycock for AAP for 1-2 years and then was forced to transfer with about a third of the kids from Haycock to Lemon Road for another year or so. Then they will or already went on to Kilmer with those same children who went to school with them at both Haycock, Lemon Road, and their base school. They will continue on with those same children into high school. I would think differently if your child got moved into an entire new high school pyramid or something, but they've probably been with their same Shrevewood or Westgate friends from kindergarten on. They've just changed buildings more than once. What do you think was so traumatic? A new cafeteria and principal to get used to?[/quote]

I should probably just let this discussion die but I do wonder why folks necessarily think the kids that left Haycock for LR went with their friends.  It's entirely possible that their friends were kids that stayed at Haycock.  So it was more than just a holding change.  But it's over now and probably not worth the time we're spending discussing it.

I wonder why the parents would have sent their kids from their base schools to Haycock in the first place unless they were OK with the idea that they'd need to make new friends from time to time.  [/quote]
