[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we heard that all from Dr. Sheers at the work session.

I also think the poster was thinking about the emotional toll it will take on a cluster two child in her class for the next five months if that child is aware that the teacher testified that she wanted that child to leave the school. Kids don't get it. They don't understand renovation queues and zoning. They don't comprehend the nuances behind all of this. And that is where the difficulty lies.

So, be kind. On both sides of the issue.[/quote]

These are AAP kids.  It can and should be explained using basic concepts of mathematics, economics, and geography.  This has nothing to do with who is smarter or better. If there were more space, and we lived closer to the school, we would not be moved.  There is space at another school that we have all paid for and do not want to waste.  We know it may be hard to switch schools and leave friends, but some of your other friends will also be moving and everyone is going to work extra hard to make sure you have a great year next year.  Similar conversations will need to take place with students who are remaining at Haycock.

The problem is that some parents simply want to school the kids in the language of victimhood.  If they smoulder with resentment and tell their kids that their teacher wants them to go away, of course they will be sad and confused.
