[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve read all 43 pages of this thread and am pretty disheartened. I have not seen one comment in favor of the more disruptive (to the current status quo) options say a single thing about the prospective quality of education improvement that the potential new Whitman and BCC students would receive. Instead, it’s all about sending Whitman and BCC bus loads of poor kids to somehow stick it to them? If those poor kids have to spend 45 minutes on a bus to (somehow?) upset the rich kids, great!

The kids being bussed from poor communities? Those are kids, not props in your vendetta fantasies. The rich kids you’re sticking it to? Also, just kids. The “foolish” communities that want to stay together? Communities of people (that just want to stay together).

Let’s make every school better and every kid’s life better. Let’s not use them as props against each other.[/quote]

As a poor family. I sorry you don’t want our kids.  Actually some of us aren’t that poor, we make different life choices.  The best solution would be to open up another hs lower dcc.   [/quote]

Want to give you a big hug. Your kids are wanted. All kids are wanted. To be fair, from what I have read, I think everyone here welcomes diversity of income, culture and race.  The problem is that no one of any income level wants to be bused away from their neighborhoods and rightfully so. Every school needs to be stronger and some underperforming schools need more money, support and staff. Whatever it takes,  they should get it. [/quote]

We are wanted as long as we are not in your schools or competition for your kids.  No one wants their kids bussed but maybe this will give those kids opportunities they don’t have to get ahead.  Our kids don’t have the same opportunities. [/quote]

Can you explain more about what opportunities are lacking? Which school are you talking about?[/quote]
