[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as if being zoned to Woodward is comparable to a mass extinction event[/quote]

No one said that. Posters are talking about house prices going down if you get rezoned from WJ to Woodward.[/quote]

WJ and Woodward couldn’t be closer to each other. They’ll bus equal number of DCC schools to each of WJ and Woodward. They’re going to be identical, and high performing, schools. [/quote]

Both will be lower performing school than current WJ and it will have impact on house price. [/quote]

Classy.

So we've come to this: [img]https://imgflip.com/i/2a4ucw[/img][/quote]

I am not the PP, but do you find anything factually wrong here? OP was worried about house prices going down in WJ due to boundary change and I do't see how previous comments being off target.[/quote]

It's not factually wrong, but it's ethically wrong, to lament that the addition of more children of color to your school is going to bring down your investments.

People are dropping dog whistles like "college readiness" will go down, scores will go down. But they know full well this is about bringing more lower income Hispanic and black kids into their school.[/quote]

It may be the case of you looking from certain angle. I see it as OP being worried about house prices and if you think his concerns are wrong then counter it. I didn't see OP getting worried about race of kids joining Woodward/WJ. A genuine concerns shouldn't be brushed aside due to assumptions.

I am not the PP and I won't be concerned about race of kids attending my kid's school, but I will be surely concerned about house prices going down. [/quote]

Ok then, why do you think house prices will go down? Is it about test scores and GreatSchools ratings? Then yes, actually that is about race. Einstein doesn't have worse teachers or facilities or principal than WJ. It has lower test scores for one reason only and that's demographics. That is the only possible reason why people could fear their home prices going down.[/quote]

Let me ask you a simple question.

Do you think that test scores going down will have zero impact on house prices?  You may be concerned about why test scores are down and all that, but many may not be care why it's going down. They simply care about it's going down.[/quote]
