Would you move your kids somewhere without researching the school system? You would move there sight unseen?
OldFriend, are you telling me there is no way to research a school district? These people are social workers, and I presume they have a degree of some kind, so they had some education.
If the NY system is out of control, and I don't doubt for a minute that it is, why move your family there from Oklahoma?
If the money is good in Saudi Arabia, but your kid has to go to a school where there are bound to be kids of the same age who are going to have issues with an American kid, do you go because the money is good, or do you find a job where the money isn't quite so good but the environment is better for the family?
My family was a military family, and we went where we were sent. Most places were okay. Some were better than others. But that is life. These people had a choice, and they chose not on the basis of what was best for their children, but on the basis of what was best for themselves and justified it with their stupid liberal mentality. That is what makes me angry.
They learned the hard way and I do hope their kids survive the idealism of the parents.
I am not gloating that the kids were bullied and I'm not gloating that the parents learned something they did not want to learn or admit.
