[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just feel the need to emphasize that the recent discourse on this thread reveals that many/most opponents aren't really concerned about the physical location of the school, but rather the boundary change that "forces" their children to be in a school with those they view as lesser.

None of this has to do with school building.[/quote]

It's always been that. From the very first moments after Option H was announced, the first DCUM posts were about test scores and teen pregnancies(!).

Then folks pivoted to "walkers" and "process," but this has always been about race, class, and housing prices. [/quote]

It’s hasn’t, but feel free to keep believing that if it helps you feel superior to those families who have voiced their concerns. [/quote]

Here are some quotes from the very first (epic) thread about W @ C:

[b]On Property Values[/b]

"Not only will the property values change, but a huge draw for the county will be gone. High income earners that are looking to put down roots are looking at the ratio of home price to academic cluster success. Wootton clears that hurdle for many, and the resulting Crown will not. Taylor has no skin in the game and will not feel the effects, but the County will."

[b]On Teen Pregnancy[/b]

I would “Never send me kids To GHS” fun fact-did you know that GHS has so much teenage pregnancy that they have a special closet for baby donations that they ask the community to give donations to regularly? Imagine having a problem so big that it needs its own closet space!
