But there are families that live in bounds for Murch, that purchased homes 2 blocks from the school but who don't have anyone there yet to get grandfathered in....[/quote]

Then, they won't be sad about "disruption" in their morning commute, losing friends they've already made at Murch, having half the Boy Scout Troop #342 go to one school and half go to a different school etc.

It'll all be new to them, and the kids they'll conceive someday.[/quote]

Actually you'll have kids who know each other in the same apartment building being sent to different schools.[/quote]

You know what, I think that is actually great for kids. While we all hope our kids end up in a school that is idyllic and wonderful in every way where they have friends they would choose to be with 24/7 but reality is different - not even Murch is the perfect place for every kid all the time and even best school friends go through rough patches. How fortunate these kids would be to have friends that close by that are outside of their day to day school environment. We are fortunate to have this now with neighbors within 2 blocks that go to 5 different schools (3 publics and 2 parochial) and guess what - it's terrific and the kids all have a great time in the neighborhood.  I for one am glad that even my kindergartner has a real awareness that there is a lot more to her neoghborhood and city than just the kids she goes to school with.[/quote]
