[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Predictably, people who don’t actually live in the cluster don’t have any concern about them closing a high school. I’m not going to pretend that I would care if the same thing was going on in a cluster that didn’t have any effect on me either. That’s why your opinion should not matter and shouldn’t hold any water.  You can say “it’s a community decision” all day long but in the end if it doesn’t affect you at all you really don’t have any business having an opinion that counts for anything. [/quote]

You miss the point that MCPS is trying to find a solution that works for the whole county-- not the solution that is best for one school or the pair of schools in question.  There's no getting around the fact that some neighborhoods or schools will be happier or angrier about the outcome than others.  But the outcome very much affects everyone.  If one school mounts a campaign to [b]insulate itself from any change[/b] (or, worse, insists on additional funds to improve their own school and is manages to insulate itself from any of the other changes), then everyone else is worse off.  It's the difference between the local and the global optimum.[/quote]

You say that like they're simply proposing to change the school mascot instead changing everything including razing the entire school.[/quote]
