As a Cross Creek resident, it's very sad to see that Hyde park neighbors don't want their children to go to Crossing. I just wonder...Are you also the type to not let your child come to my child's birthday party because I live in a smaller house over here in Cross Creek? I happen to be a nice, young mother of two wonderful girls. I am clean, and keep my house well. I am from Dublin and I grew up with this type of nonsense my whole life. Hyde park is nothing to brag about. Crossing this year is mostly made up of Cross Creek students and a VERY nice neighborhood over behind the Kroger's off of Roberts- Western Lakes(NOT apartments). I also don't think our test score are that bad. Remember who all is taking these tests. Just because kids may not have help at home and do poorly on tests does not mean the curriculum taught in the actual classroom to YOUR child is any less. Also, what about the mentally disabled children's test scores that go into the mainstream? or the students who speak very little English? Crossing happens to be a very nice school and I'm proud to live here. Does it make me less of a loving and caring parent because we are young and can only afford to live in Cross Creek? Does that make my children's IQ lower? NO... I happen to know we are quite competent adults and good parents and we most likely do a better job parenting our children than people with sour attitudes. How sad. It's one thing for people to complain about a school with say a 90% problem with non english speaking kids, test scores, help in the classroom... but Crossing? It's a wonderland compared to other schools. How about Hyde Parks is bused to Horizon? Maybe you think that owning a middle of the road home in Hyde Park entitles you to a brand new school and only children from homes that cost over $200 thou are admitted? I'd love to see you survive in Dublin, Tartan Fields/Muirfield side. I had over 30 years there and come from a family who has lived there for over 65 years. Get over yourselves. People there wouldn't wipe their feet on your doormat. I hoped to get away from people like this with the move to Hilliard. Now I see it stems all the way down to the tip of middle classlings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-14997320447092290482007-06-29T07:21:00.000-04:002007-06-29T07:21:00.000-04:00Marcia, I disagree with your comments.

I think the comments vary from which side of the tracks or Cemetery Road you live on. <BR/><BR/>We have friends that have children that go to Davidson. We were recently told that their child gets very nervous around a specific minority. When this child goes to college or starts his/her career, think about the day to day struggles to get used to the diversity that exists in the world today. <BR/><BR/>My children have either graduation from Darby or are attending Darby or Heritage. In all honesty, I feel that my children have become well rounded individuals because of the diversity at the high schools and middle schools.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542470213659930857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289345346387194350.post-19257355920894789992007-04-09T11:36:00.000-04:002007-04-09T11:36:00.000-04:00But I have little respect for those who want to de...<I>But I have little respect for those who want to define some schools as enclaves for the affluent and predominately white neighborhoods in the district, but mask their true feelings by making the discussion be about traffic and transportation issues.</I><BR/><BR/>Well, then, you're arguing for the wrong school district. This is what people here are about.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655129514017134176noreply@blogger.com
