Reversing conversions being considered

Folks! -- get angry at the RIGHT people. The only reason families are denied entry to y/r schools (voluntary application) is because of WCPSS POLICY! Not because of pro-t/c families, not because of the pool guy, not because families like Sat/Sun for QT. WCPSS POLICY tells you you're either too poor or too rich or too white or too black to be accepted to a SCHOOL OF YOUR CHOICE. So, blame WCPSS for putting diversity above the needs of families, above family/parent CHOICE, and above their own SWORN OBLIGATION to put EDUCATION first.

The above reasons and the above people are SOLELY responsible for the ridiculous set of circumstances Wake County parents are forced deal with.

The PTB are THRILLED that parents who want y/r are pitting themselves against parents that are pro-t/c. The more you fight EACH OTHER, the less enegry/time you have to spend finding out the TRUTH about where and whom you should be fighting.

Was anyone at the meeting this afternoon to hear if any schools were specifically mentioned?

First, I hope that everyone will remember WakeCARES and their lawsuit which is now going to the NC Supreme Court. These people need money to keep fighting for us -- log onto their web site and donate!
And... I personally don't take the school board's decision to put this on the agenda at face value. Other than RonM, remember how manipulative these people are, and remember that they are never willing to admit they made a mistake. Don't be surprised if staff comes back with an answer that can be deemed impractical or unaffordable by the board.

NOT INTERESTED in the have and have nots of MYR and "some" reversed conversions.

It's a TOTAL FAILURE just like you Chuck Koresh, Del d d d dumbo, Rose Petals, Lawyer wannabe Lori, China Patti, is it Bev or Beverley?,
Ela aka: the goat, Momma Mayor and the rest of you...

Reversing some WILL NOT pass a bond because we'll just take it up a notch.
And we have LOTS of notches to go!

Grow some or borrow Hillary's, but have the backbone to treat us ALL equally or look for another lawsuit coming your way RIGHT AFTER the bond fails!

What say you Ann Goodnight and Ed lying Bonner???

Yes, that's right. Once upon a time, parents protested, wrote letters, made phone calls, attended meetings and gave speeches all to point out one simple fact: MYR WILL NEVER WORK. Now we can gleefully say,

WE TOLD YOU SO.

What is it going to do to multi-year assignment plan?
Looks like they will be forced to unconvert several more schools every year. Some of the pain could've been eliminated if they would not have opened four new schools on year-round calendar...

Reversing the conversions will not make everyone happy. What about those of us that were in YR and had to return to "base" when the base school was converted to YR? I had K's then now I have 2nd graders. I like the year round schedule and have a child in YR middle school. Am I supposed to switch schools again for either my 2nd graders or middle schooler? Will I even be able to continue YR if my school is reconverted to traditional? It's not any easier to undo the conversions that it was to do them.

Methinks somebody's pride is getting wounded here. Let's take pity on them and just call it an unmitigated non-success.

"They repeatedly insisted that the conversions were not a failure."
Whenever you repeat the same thing over and over, you're trying to convince yourself (along with everyone else) that what you are saying is true when you know its not.
I'm actually feeling some measure of relief and satisfaction knowing they, the BoE(eR), are suffering unconsciously from their own failures.

OK, while the "real" numbers reflect that ALL 22 conversion were unnecessary, tweedle dee and tweedle dumb are suggesting any where from 1 to 4 schools will be reversed. Keep you token gestures to yourself! They will not help you with the bond.

oh what fun this will be to watch - who potentially gets reversed and who doesn't.  Talk about a CF.
