[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the hearing tonight, and was cracking up to see in the CCES PTA testimony that they finally clued in to the effective tactic their opponent has been using to crush them so completely. Too bad they didn’t figure it out until a week before the decision comes down. See what kind of magic can happen when you actually talk with, involve, and even (gasp!) empower your under-resourced, diverse community members? Imagine what might have been had they grasped this concept much earlier in the game, and expanded it beyond one father to their Silver Spring communities as a whole…  [/quote]
This made me find the video and watch it myself. I am watching the testimony from the 10th, although it sounds like the testimony on the 3rd was more lively.

I am not really sure what your post is referring to.[/quote]
I would just add that holy hell, I just arrived at the crazy guy. He is out of control.[/quote]

In last night's hearing CCES had a minority dad from their Silver Spring community talk about why he's opposed to Option 7. In my opinion it was more persuasive than any other testimony made so far by RH, CCES, or NCC. But it's likely it was too little, too late, and they were stupid and arrogant not to involve their underserved communities earlier in an organized fashion. RCF's voice has been so powerful because from the beginning the Hispanic community was organized, coordinated, and vocal, and it's clear that the Superintendent and other BOE members heard them. It's much more powerful to have the communities being discussed and bandied about ("the diverse community") speak directly about what they want and what's good for them.

Crazy guy from last week was quite amazing. A spitting mad white guy up there ranting about the privilege being enjoyed by Rock Creek, the school where half the kids are poor and the majority are brown, was such a great idea. SMH[/quote]

So all of you RCF parents think it is ok to have an empty white priveledged school and a an over crowded brown school?  A school with abundant resources and a school without.  Segregated schools? All because of proximity?

Proximity to a school most parents will never set foot in because it is a middle school.  Parents don't volunteer in middle school.

People with means will drive a long way and pay a lot of money to get to private schools with small enrollment and class sizes for a quailty education.  RCF clearly doesn't understand this concept and is shooting themselves in the foot.  In 5 years the new middle will be an old overcrowded disaster with portables.  That's when RCF and everyone else will want out.

You RCF people are insane!!!   [/quote]

RCF only chooses from the options available which none of them we particularly like.  Your superintendent actually brought #7 to light.  Not our first choice certainly but preferable to other options which are largely supported.[/quote]
