[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to VA from NY and we are currently in a zone where kids are bussed to McKinley but would move to Reed under the current proposal. I’d be fine with pretty much any options because the choices are 1) go to a brand new school or 2) get bussed to any number of other good schools (I guess most likely either staying at McKinley or moving to Glebe, if not Reed). I’d actually prefer bussing with my work schedule. Am I missing something? Why are McKinley parents freaking out when they will either stay at a great school or move to what will surely be another great school? [/quote]

Great questions! I’m scratching my head too. Best guess: a combination of status quo bias and the strong (and understandable) preference on the part of families within a couple of blocks of McKinley to keep their short walks to and from school. Why it’s sparking such intense outcry is beyond me, because their kids will still end up attending a great, nearby school.[/quote]
