[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just whoever is organizing a protest and or speeches at the SB meeting, please leave the kids out of this. March all you want. Make signs, whatever. But it’s beyond selfish and cruel to expose the kids to this. They don’t need to know anything about it unless it actually happens. Parents and teachers, please put your students first and set the tone that they are resilient, that they will be okay no matter what, that you will make it okay for them. Don’t bring them up to the podium to cry that they’re going to lose all their friends (which may not be true anyway). Please. It’s not right. [/quote]

PLEASE someone put this on AEM.  As a teacher, I'm not going to post over there, but I have wanted to shout this from the rooftops.  If parents are acting like this is the end of the world, how are their kids supposed to feel about anything happening?  Any parent who brings a child to the meeting is doing them such a disservice.  We are supposed to help them navigate change and help them grow, not make them feel like victims or manipulate them for our own selfish desires.  [/quote]

THIS!!! We saw this last year with Drew too (both Abingdon and PH/Fleet parents were doing it) how are the kids that do end up at Drew going to have any idea of pride in their new school when they see it as the “bad” school when all their friends got to go to the “good” school[/quote]
