[quote=Anonymous]McKinley is a pretty great school, and they will still have a huge playground in the back of the school, plus some field space there I think.  And even with trailers, I think there will be some field space preserved in the front.  I didn't mean to sound so doomsday a page ago about not having ANY fields.  The kids will still have room to run around.  And the addition should be really nice.

I think a lot of North Arlington schools are suffering right now from entitled parents who think rules should be bent and broken just to make their lives easier and give them what they want.  We have great schools, but as the parent entitlement increases, it's harder and harder for the schools to keep parents happy and manage expectations.  So I feel two ways about OP Tuckahoe parent's request here:  (1) you're not entitled to go to the fancy new school just because you want it very much and your assigned school is overenrolled, particularly when you were in favor of overenrollment when it benefitted you.  Lots of schools here are overenrolled and they all deal with it pretty gracefully.  And I think you are very annoying to ask for special treatment.  But (2) if this is the way you are, maybe it's better to let Discovery deal with you, because if they are underenrolled they may have more resources for whiny, entitled parents and I strongly suspect this will not be the end of your litany of complaints.  So, good luck.[/quote]
