[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What really bugs me isn't so much the change in the COSA policy -- I get the overcrowding thing. It's the nastiness that is revealed -- MCPS staff and parents saying that we are all just trying to sneak into a cluster but not "paying for it" as if this were a private school. It's school board members expressing open disdain that we would feel compelled to argue for what we felt was the best choice for our kids. I don't know why I'm surprised but I really am. [/quote] The argument for the automatic matriculation to B-CC is a double-edged sword. Nasty? Perhaps just the revelation of the true intent of some families. If that doesn't include you, I wouldn't sweat it. [/quote] What people don't get is that this is a public school district, and our taxes go into a big pot. Just because you live in a more expensive neighborhodd doesn't mean you deserve better services. I totally get the argument that says "our school is overcrowded and priority should be given to neighborhood kids." But that's not the argument that a lot of people are making. I am actually glad that this happened when it did. Because it showed me that I really don't give a rats a** if my DS goes to school with a bunch of overpriveleged, entitled kids or not. [/quote]
