Why are you ignoring what I say? Is there a reason you want to believe I've ever said anything about shutting down a school? Because clearly (if you read what I've said, it's obvious that I'm saying the opposite).
My goal is for every kid to have all these choices. Period. MORE diversity, as I said. You seem to want less. You don't want people to have the option to have another school, run differently, by people who really want to create a school. Clearly having another option, just as open and availble to everyone as the current schools, is good for Somerville. But you don't seem to want more diversity. You want people to be forced into using only what's currently available. That's pretty mean, if you ask me.
If you really want all kids to have all of these options, then encourage your own school to allow outside programs to use the building, for free, using any empty space that happens to be there. Alas, without the unions going away, it won't happen. So for now, creating a new school, free of those restrictive unions, is the best option.

Re: Expanding the shools to allow for MORE diversity is good, in my opinion.
