Disparity in the District

Last night there was a vote on the new boundaries.
The plan that creates the most economic disparity between the school was approved.

For a school that has already been looked down upon... this is just another kick in the teeth... and one that will go on for decades because this was the chance for them to "make things equitable"... and they didn't take that opportunity.

I'm having a hard time seeing it in the extremely positive light that one other person is.

I feel like we are consistently being told to "buck up" and "be proud"... but when you know that they are telling you that in one breath, you also know that in the very next breath they will be berating you for the situation they put you in.

It's like a lose-lose situation... when clearly all we wanted was win-win-win (thank you michael scott).
