Second Tier private. There is nothing that Anderson can offer your dc that the 2nd-Tier private cannot and the private can offer things that no public can. Only if money is a factor would I consider Anderson. GL with your decision. [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] No letter yet (10027). Worried my sweet 99 dd will be shut out somehow, and we'll not meet friday's deadline if the letter doesn't arrive. Anyone else think that this is all a ploy by the DOE to make sure parents are so cowed by the process that they'll not dare to object to anything when the kids are actually enrolled? 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

We picked our letter up from our doorman today at 12:30pm, but he said our letter had gotten mixed up in someone else's mail, and that resident brought it down to the doorman today. There's no postmark on the envelope, so it looks like it was hand delivered. Our address is correct too. [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] Attention: We are thrilled to send our DS to NEST in the fall, but I am scared of the crazy parents. I give you fair warning: if you ever ask me what my kids' score was, tell me your kids' score, or try to compare our kids in any way academically, I will punch you in the eye.

Parents are no more crazy there than any other school. Urban myth. These so called Crazy parents raised over $100,000 for the school at the spring auction fund raising event. So with all the budget cuts happening thank god for the "crazy" Nest parents. At least there is no one stealing PTA funds like what was happening at the school my dc attended for pre k.
