1. scores - I asked this before.  How is being around a few more lower performing kids going to make your kids dumber?   If the boundaries are changed, don't you think the FARMs rate and performance of the student body will change accordingly?  You're thinking that only your child will be going to the new school surrounded by dumber kids.  Where's the logic here?

2. reputation - what is the rep based on?  First hand knowldedge? Gossip? GS scores?  That goes back to #1 above.

For example, many  W parents think that non W schools are terrible because they have "low" test scores, and so those schools have a terrible reputation  amongst those parents, yet, many parents like those in the QO cluster will say that's not true. QO is a great school.  Right?   Example  of reputation not based on first hand knowledge but on test scores.[/quote]

These are not immoral reasons and I am just pointing these out against some hypocrisy from people who define "not willing to ..." as immoral.
Whether these are good reasons that can convince you (so that you could support their objectives) or BoE, is an entirely different issue - which I have no intention to do.
