I do live in a 'crummy" zone and will probably send dd to private if she gets in. If she doesn't I will use someone else's address. I think it is equally 'immoral" to excpect me to send my dd to a school that offers substandard education while I pay the same taxes as the rest of you.

I have tried to improve my child's school. I have devoted many many hours and much hard work to make it better. Other parents come up and thank me for my efforts. But I don't think there's much that parents can do. We can't hire teachers, give teachers pointers, change curriculum, hire or choose professional development. Parents can't do anything but raise money - if they have it - to get asst teachers and some extra perks. But assistant teachers and extra perks are not the essence of a good education. You need a strong leader, you need good teachers, you need a coherent and effective curriculum. Parents can not have any impact on any of those three things. [ Reply | More

I am not categorically against cheating, but I think it is rotten at school that is overcrowded & zoned kids can't even get a spot, like 234 & 321 starting next year if the DOE sticks with their plan. To me, this begs the question of whether we should do away w/ zoned schools & just do lotteries within districts. I live in Bklyn, where we have way more districts than Manhattan, FYI. [ Reply | More

I'll be completely honest, we cheated to get our 2dcs into their school, we're now out to the assistant principal, who couldn't care less and I am content that, since our dcs placed into G&T in the school, they're bringing as much value tot he school as they are receiving from it, and even possibly more. I feel no guilt at all about it, mostly b/c I know, from my mom being a BOE teacher for 35 years, that we could have gotten the exact same result simply be being squeaky wheels. And when our 2yo DS is ready for pre-K, I'll do the same exact thing- and push for a full-day placement. [ Reply | More

np: i tried really hard to improve my child's public school. worked MANY hours for the PA, volunteered, tutored some LEP kids because the principal was too lame to get them the ESL they needed, tried to fund-raise. I wound up frustrated and bitter, and -- bottom line -- my kid really suffered from being 4 years in a bad school. We fled to private, fortunately with generous FA. Agree that it's a bit much to expect parents to fix a system that is so broken, and particularly resent this when it comes from parents who live in neighborhoods i can't afford. In retrospect, i really wish I had though of lying to try for a better school. I would feel less guilty about that than I do about compromising my child's education. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Anyone who has a dh that hates going out? My dh and I never ever go out to dinner or movie, he just can't be bothered with it, We have never done this since we had dcs, (oldes is going to be 9yo, yes 9yo) we go out with dcs on rare occasions because we sort of end up walking by a restaurant and we get hungry. I mentioned if we can go out for our anniversary this month and he as usual says he's not in the mood. I am a sahm so i never have a chance to go out and dress up a bit.

i can't believe you put up with this for 9 yrs. dh and I go out weekly and have since our oldest was born 5 yrs ago. there are times when we keep it low key-go to gym and work out tog for example, but worth it. fortune in sitting costs, but better for me to have this expense than unhappy in marriage [ Reply | More

No I meant go out with him but you do the organizing and just tell him you are going out together. Can you get a sitter for dc rather than bil if that gives you more flexibility. [ Reply | More

Your ds is old enough to be fine at home with a responsible sitter and this may give you more freedom. I think if you can get your dh out once or twice and you have a good evening then he might get back into it. Why not use your anniversary as an excuse to force him to go out. Tell him how much it would mean to you. [ Reply | More
