[ - ] All these disappointed parents w/"gifted" dc really cracks me up. If you actually cared about your dc's education you would move out if you couldn't afford private. Cannot wait until you all have to fight over the even fewer seats in those lovely middle schools. GL w/that! 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

What makes that poster think that going to a private school is better than a good public school. Most private schools are elitist and teach kids horrible values - I'll take a public school in NY anyday. [ Reply | More ]

I couldn't post under your "elitist" post, but that was rather a blanket statement. Many privates teach values and do so very well. [ Reply | More ]

Remember that the DOE called people with missing applications. Hopefully, not getting a call meant they received your app. The annoying thing is we would have already gotten the letter if they just sent it by regular mail yesterday. [ Reply | More ]

We know they received our application (confirmed by email) and have not heard yet either. I am trying to call DOE but the only numbers I can find are for G&T office and borough enrollment and no one is answering. Does anyone have the main Student Enrollment number or main number for DOE. I am happy to call them all. [ Reply | More ]

I heard over 1,000 kid got 99. Apparently, the Olsat + BRSA does not differentiate enough. Do the math. There are not 1,000 spots between Anderson &NEST. 3,000 kids got over 99. To get another 500 kids DOE had to drop down to 90 so there is big gap between 97th and the rest of the gen pop. [ Reply | More ]
