[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't there a petition seeking justice for current 7th graders who will be entering 10th grade when all the changes take effect and forced to change high schools? I think we can all agree that these kids are poorly situated in all this. I wonder if it would really be that hard to at least give these kids the option to finish high school where they started.

my goodness. They will be ok.  Lots of kids have gone through boundary changes in the middle of their school years. The kids are alright.  It's not like your kid will be the only one moving. Sheesh.[/quote]

I agree kids have done it before and they will survive, but why not try to minimize harm and disruption? Letting kids finish the high schools they started seems like a pretty easy way to do that.[/quote]
Because then there will be a brand HS that is sitting mostly empty for a couple of years.  Would you build a house, and then let it sit there for a couple of years because you don't want to disrupt your kids HS sophomore year?

Northwood had only incoming freshman when it opened. Yes if I buy a new house I would absolutely let my kids finish their high school before moving in. The part is that you only consider the cost but don’t consider so many kids being hurt from being forced to leave their high schools after finishing 9 th grade. Furthermore Crown won’t even be completely built then, as the auditorium is left to build later. These 9th graders who finished at other schools have a lot to lose. [/quote]
