[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What WSHS parents say at public meetings and what they suggest privately and on forums like this aren't necessarily the same thing.  You aren't fooling anyone.  [/quote]

Give it a rest. I’m a WSHS parent who spent the last two years of her life advocating on this and I didn’t even know what BMP was until this came up at one of the last boundary meetings but Ricardy shut it down. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the Lewis parents who keep trying to force kids into their school.

Maybe ask why the school board refuses to give up on IB there. It’s because tons of Lewis parents use it as a way to get escape that school. The SB doesn’t want to hear complaints from them if they close that IB loophole. [/quote]

You really are going to claim that WS parents haven't been saying that potential Edison overcrowding ought to get more attention from the School Board than the current overcrowding at West Springfield?

Sorry, but even when you didn't mention Bren Mar Park by name, you were suggesting Lewis should pick up kids from Edison rather than West Springfield.  [/quote]

What she is saying is that no one at WSHS even knows what BMP is or where it is zoned for high school.[/quote]

I believe the term for this is "feigned ignorance." [/quote]

You prefer pointed aggression as you and your PTA is using?[/quote]

Yes, I think when FCPS only identifies a single option that clearly just throws one school community under a bus because they think it's low-hanging fruit, they force that community to point out the alternatives they aren't considering and the "problem" they aren't addressing.

It's unfortunate, but necessary.  They don't know how to do their jobs properly. [/quote]

And to be clear, you believe everyone should do as you are and name other schools to be moved. As if  that is how to build consensus and buy in? 
Just some mudslinging rather than trying to outline other issues at play or how to create/advocate actual change Lewis.?
I can’t get behind your tactics at all.

They don’t seem productive or helpful on a larger scale than just serving you/your kids. [/quote]

The PTA is doing exactly the right thing by pointing out other areas that deserve equal consideration if anyone is to be moved into Lewis at this time.

I know it bothers you when other areas don’t roll over as you’d like.  
If all the PTA did was advocate as you’re recommending it would get ignored and BMP would be on the fast train to Lewis. [/quote]

WSHS only advocated for residency checks, enforcing the closed to transfers rule as written, and leaving the WSHS zoned families at WSHS.

They did not advocate for anything involving moving around kids from other high schools, only for no students in or out of WSHS.
They even argued against moving Rolling Valley kids houses out of Lewis into WSHS.

The West Springfield families advocated for status quo + residency checks/no transfers.[/quote]

WSHS doesn’t throw other schools under the bus for moving to Lewis bc they are the most logical choice to move into Lewis lol it would look so stupid on their part to point out other schools move because it wouldn’t make any sense and they wouldn’t have a logical argument for those schools to move instead of them.

No one has heard of BMP over in WSHS camp bc it’s the most nonsensical choice to move into Lewis. [/quote]

Or you don’t have a great argument and are just flinging mud. I have heard of BMP, you have had a fire there in the renovated part of the school, yes? I hope it doesn’t set the timeline back too much and your thanking of the firefighters was cute and nice.  Hopefully that community spirit comes through others, if not you PP. [/quote]

What are you even trying to say? Your post makes zero sense [/quote]
