It's true, friend of mine ran into a guy delivering letters. He confirmed that they were hand delivering all the letters today. She lives on the UWS. I live on UES - Nothing yet. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

does this situation really deserve this level of anxiety? is this really going to make or break your kid? if you answer yes, then there is something wrong with your parenting if you are relying on the child going to a particular school [ Reply | More ]

I am not anxious at all. We opted out of this, that said, I can still see how upsetting it could be for parents who live in an area with a terrible zoned school, especially since the DOE could have done a better job. It is upsetting to me because they are wasting money and resources that could be better used to improve all schools. All they would have to do would be to actually plan something. [ Reply | More ]

Think about it...if there are 3000 letters to be delivered and they divide it up geographically...it might not cost that much to have 30-50 guys deliver 80-100 letters apiece. [ Reply | More ]

Not if it means families might not get their letters until after the deadline of the 20th and then cry foul. [ Reply | More ]
