[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get a house for $800 for Wootton.  Many other areas go for way more.  What’s there to brag about?  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/14908-Pomquay-Ct_North-Potomac_MD_20878_M57729-79418?from=srp-list-card

Is a family living here not welcome too?  Or you tolerate them?   https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/14425-Pebble-Hill-Ln_North-Potomac_MD_20878_M59698-18126?from=srp-list-card[/quote]

Who is bragging? There has been comment after comment explaining that Wootton parents (including myself) are in no way rich and simply stretched to be able to provide our children with a great school experience. That being said-we absolutely could not have afforded a house that would have worked for our family in The Whitman cluster. The rich aren’t buying in Wootton. We simply don’t want our school moved and changed-and it will be changed. It’s funny because if you were to give this option to Most any other school they would also oppose-but for some reason Wootton parents are being attacked for this ridiculous option that came out of nowhere. The only people who want it are the people that will directly benefit from their property value increase-that’s it. [/quote]

Then wait your turn for repairs.  It’s kinda sad financially you are so stretched.  That’s a bad lifestyle decision.  You asked for a solution immediately and were given a good option.  If that’s a no, then you wait like everyone else and stop the drama of being first in line when other schools need it more.

How do you plan to pay for college and grad school?[/quote]

Personally, I wasn’t one of the ones asking for a solution immediately and i’m annoyed it came to this.

And it’s not “sad” to make financial decisions that are best for our children.

At least the new options that kept Wootton together (whether there or at Crown.  All of the new options closed SSIMS, with similar consideration, and dispersed its community among three other facilities.

It's kind of sick that, among all of the options, it is the wealthiest areas that tend to be least affected, an artifice born not only of decades of intransigence in remediating overcrowding with boundary changes, but also of unnecessary constraint on the current boundary studies, keeping those wealthy communities in relatively intractable corners instead of allowing for a whole-of-system solution (e.g., allowing shifts west better to fill Poolesville, with cascade to Wootton, Churchill, Whitman, BCC, etc.).[/quote]

RM is not that wealthy but gets unaffected. Wootton is getting affected someway in most options as Wootton is the poorest W school [/quote]

It's not getting affected because it is the poorest W school.  It is getting affected because it is the closest school to Crown.  [/quote]
