[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You ought to be careful about moving to of these schools/clusters as a way to get into the desired schools. Depending on how the Board of Ed election turns out tomorrow, MCPS could see a lot of redistricting in order to try to even out schools across the county and make more equitable the distribution of what folks on this thread are pointing to as reasons why Whitman, BCC, Pyle, etc. have "the best" in the state.

Well, you gotta pick a school at some point, don’t you?[/quote]

No. The point is that you pick a neighborhood, house, apartment building, condo, etc. and you don't "pick a school". That's the kind of thinking that perpetuates the inequities across the county's schools.[/quote]

I can pick whatever school I want. You don’t dictate where and why someone chooses to live. [/quote]

Of course I don't. I didn't say I did. I simply said that there is some degree of likelihood that your attempt to "pick whatever school I want" doesn't actually work out because you can't technically "pick a school". You can pick a neighborhood, a house, a cluster, an apartment building that, today, will guarantee your kids go to a particular school but that guarantee is only as good as the Board of Ed's desire to redistrict schools. So, no, I don't dictate where and why someone chooses to live in a particular place. But the BoE sure does dictate where kids go to school depending on where they live. Not you.[/quote]

Neither do you. Don’t tell anyone to not pick a school “in case” it may change. You have to pick. You deflected that you want people to choose schools that are not desirable for them bc your hypocrisy in your attempts to guilt trip others into picking poorer schools. [/quote]

Oh, ok. I’ll just pretend on these threads where people are making one of the most significant choices in their lives (where to buy/rent a place to live) that their choice to prioritize school placement is a great, iron-clad idea because the school to which they’re assigned will never change.
