[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuckahoe could easily fill up if the Madison Manor families (who will be on buses no matter what) were sent to Tuckahoe.  That would be much better than going to from a full McK to a full Reed.  They can't see the forest......[/quote]

Why don't people want to go to Ashlawn? I generally hear good things about the school. Is it just about not wanting to be split up?[/quote]

I think they believe their kids will be traumatized by being split up [b]during a pandemic when the new school would be massively overcrowded[/b].  Parents really set a bad tone here.  My kids were at McK when Tuckahoe families moved in and became friends with many of the new students.  Those kids all adjusted fine and had no problems being in a new school.

My friends at Ashlawn have been very happy, happier than many of us at McK, quite frankly.[/quote]

See my bold addition.  My family isn't impacted but I know many who are fighting this fight.  Ashlawn is great, they were prepared to go there pre-covid.  APS said they want to make as few changes as possible during this time.  Options A and B show ways that still don't fix the entire APS problem, but move even fewer kids in this short-term unprecedented scenario.

Again.  Parents are setting a bad tone hear.  The pandemic is just an excuse to dig in their heels.[/quote]
