For once, my children, their friends, and yes the parents were not part of this years's annual reassignment plan. But we all know that next year there will be another major reassignment. We have been through it prior to this year, and I doubt we will be fortunate enough to escape these constant reassignment plans. These reassignments plans (or social engineering experiments-nobody has the guts to call it what it really is) dictates every decision that WCPSS makes. WCPSS seems to be more interested in shuffling kids, disrupting parents schedules, wasting millions of gallons of diesel fuel, and adding to the traffic problems in Wake County than providing a quality education to our children. The Wake system is way too big to manage these social engineering programs and I think that should be evident to everyone (with all the problems we have). I know that there is a great love by a FEW people to have total control over the MANY, but I know that a lot of us think it is time for the WCPSS to be broken into districts We want to have local control over our schools. If people keep moving into Wake Forest (and we have local control) we will build another elementary, middle or high school, whatever. It will be done with our Wake Forest tax dollars and we don't really have to worry about Knightdale, Raleigh, Garner or Zebulon's problems. I know that this falls on deaf ears, but WE WANT LOCAL CONTROL OVER OUR SCHOOLS. IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER BREAKING IT UP!!
