I would not send any child to a NYC public school. Period.
Orange ya glad your mother sent you to BS?
What about Stuy or Bronx Science?
my main beef with public schools is the PC crap
survival of the fittest never even enters in
my children (down here) go private
my girls in Orange County (Monroe-Woodbury) go public
the only private schools are like Choate and whatnot...huge bucks
Public School where they go is damned easy actually
and the race beef is between the Ricans and the Mexicans
very few blacks and my daughters are pegged as exotic crackeresses since all their pals know they have a crazy redneck (and worse) daddy down South....originally from Mississippi which makes it even worse (better)
LOL
my oldest graduates in 1-06....cakewalk she claims
my rather southern accent never hurt me in Manhattan...helped at times.....oh yeah..
Me either. Having done 10 years in NYC public schools (and I did mine in District 26 - probably the best in the City), there isn't a chance in Hell I'd send my kids.
In fact, even though I'm out in Suffolk now, I STILL don't send 'em to public school. It's Catholic school for them. This would NEVER happen at our school.
Regards,
PS: What a moronic idiot this mother is. "Diversity" indeed.
