[ - ] I think moving to the suburbs has brought out some hidden Martha Stewart in me. Getting new bedding, and not only do I want to monogram them, I want a monogram designed special for it. Kicker is, I didn't even take DH's name. He looked at me like I could be a body snatcher when I told him what I was doing. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

My DC go/went to Elmwood -- technically it's in White Plains (PO), but location-wise is like Ardsley/Hartsdale. There are also tons of synagogue/church schools. The process varies from school to school -- but it's not like NYC (in terms of interviews and hefty deposits/tuition and all that). Some schools have 2's programs (including Elmwood); others start at 3. You may be able to find a spot for Sept. -- there are sometimes summertime openings (especially if you're flexible about days/times). Did you find a house? Which neighborhood? [ Reply | More

What's more important to you? Academics or not being a minority? BTW, if they offer Mandarin, that would be a big plus for me. On the other hand, if they're too traditional/structured (which most DOE schools are), then I would not like it. If the white school is progressive, I might like it more despite low test score.

Huh? Some of the schools in Chinatown boast higher test scores than majority white schools. Look at DOE reports and insideschools ratings. Their scores are through the roof, including English. [ Reply | More

What? That is your choice. I'm Asian and I know others who consider being with other Asians is an important factor - especially those who grew up in all white schools and were made fun of. [ Reply | More
