[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel ridiculous asking this 34 pages into a thread, but was looking for a place to ask it. Can you help me understand, as someone who does not understand the geography of the area (I'm just bad at geography and live on the other side of the county) what decision has been made that people are so upset about it, and why people are upset about it?[/quote]

A huge high school building and an artificial turf football field are going to be boarded up and abandoned in a residential neighborhood.  A neighbor school will be shuttered and all of the students that could walk to that school will not need to be buses elsewhere.  MCPS doesn’t have money for more buses and can’t afford to transport these students.

The bigger issue is that this is just the beginning of Taylor’s plan to shut down school buildings across the county.  He wants to board up dozens of schools for developers to tear down the schools and build condos.  [/quote]

The same school building parents advocated that has serious mold, plumbing, electrical, gas and other major issues.  [/quote]

And? They advocated for Wootton to being fixed. Had MCPS kept their word, Wootton would have been rebuilt 17 years ago. No one asked or advocated to close Wootton and be moved.

Let’s say you had an issue with your beloved home. You ask for some fixes, say a leaky roof. If you advocate for that but instead get forcibly moved, did you also advocate for moving?

You are fool being played by mcps and their narrative. MCPS is literally gaslighting Wootton parents and telling them you asked for this when in reality all of this is a result of deliberate neglect by MCPS for nearly two decades.

But go ahead and keep believing their BS. The board is complacent AF because there’s people like you who don’t have two brain cells to rub together. [/quote]

We didn't ask for this but we DID ask  for a school that was up to the standards we, and all kids, deserve. They couldn't do it in our own building so this was the way they could do it. I need a car to get to work and want a lambo but can't afford one. Do I not buy a Nissan? Also, no need to insult our intelligence because we have a different opinion and are appreciative of the good even if it isn't the perfect. [/quote]

Except this isn’t good? 
Sorry that we care about setting precedent and the law?

The analogy isn’t I want a Lambo btw. The comment on your intelligence is showing.

The analogy is I pay my car mechanic money every year to maintain my car. He tells me for 17 years straight that he will fix/rebuild my car. I’m not asking for a lambo. Just proper maintenance on my car, like how he maintains other cars. Instead he decides to say screw it and gives me a completely different car.

O and my old car he says can’t be fixed and isn’t safe to be driven…actually will be driven by someone else not me.

And then he gaslights me about how you told me you wanted a new car when I told him no such thing.

See how little sense this makes? [/quote]

Your analogy does make little sense and isn't accurate:
1) your mechanic didn't maintain any of the cars in his lot.
2) why did you stay with him if you were unhappy? You thought you were special enough he would do something for you?
3) your old car tht is on it's last leg isn't going to be driven by anyone else for any kind of lengthy roadtrip until 2033 at the earliest (when presumably they will find money to fix the engine but maybe not the radio still).[/quote]

Agree the car analogy sucks but hey the previous PP decided to use cars not me

1. Not true. See BCC and WJ

2. O ok let’s pretend we can just all easily pick up and move or go to private school. You hear that DCUM. You can’t complain about MCPS, you should just move. I’m sorry I thought government should be held accountable for their actions. Do you agree with Trump? If not, why don’t you just move out of the U.S. again—lack of brain cells on display here—what a ridiculous response

3. So the mechanic says. Yet this is the same mechanic who signed illegal contracts, wastes millions of dollars, missed out on 40 million in state aid, full of bloat, etc. And even so, doesn’t change the fact that what happened here was illegal.

The answer to your car is beyond repair can’t be listen to the mechanic who is responsible for my car getting to this state.

This “mechanic” clearly can’t be trusted anymore and needs to be held accountable. [/quote]
