"However, I'm really surprised at the vitriol I see hear from the EA parents -- it's kind of shocking to think that I could be at a meeting or on the playground next to people (I know it may only be a few) who have such hostility for me and my child just because we happened to get in to a lottery."

You support the point that SI parents don't know EA parents.

EA parents don't dislike SI kids or the program.  For the most part we are just indifferent. There may be a few parents with axes to grind - but most of us just don't care.

We just don't care because - for the most part - SI families treat us like we are the "poor EA families" and they never get to know us.

Please know that we aren't against the program and we definitely do not have hostility toward the children - we just don't want to be used.

The two programs don't mix - so please don't use us (or school unity) as an excuse to keep the kids together in Westland.

I am sorry that you have not gotten to know many of the parents in the SI program.  I expect that you do not know many EA parents outside of your child's class.  This is about the children, who will be torn from their classmates for no reason at all.  Some of the SI students already live in the cluster, so the number of students impacted will be quite small.  Why is the presence of a two dozen non-cluster lottery students so resented?  It makes just as much sense to send send some students from another elementary school in the cluster to SSIMS.  Of course this would never happen to the entitled and connected families in the BCC cluster.   [/quote]
