Sorry, I was not counting Dumbo as a distinct neighborhood from Brooklyn Heights. But was also thinking of middle school families, where I believe the situation is more complicated? |
Yes, Dumbo is not zoned for PS8. Was until about 10 years ago. MS is always more complicated than a good zoned PS, but I dont know anyone at Spruce, although Im sure there are some. PS8 has a middle school, MS8 (was renamed a few years ago, but it's very common pipeline). Or Brooklyn Prospect probably second most popular. Then there's Twain, ICE, PPAS, CSA .. all those charter and citywide schools. Some move to private at that point. Middle school is pain, but there are options. |
70,000 is a lot to spend on values. I know what you mean about emphasizing values and integrity and it can be a good fit. But can you name a school that lacks integrity? And please don’t say Trevor as a joke |
NO - I am not from the area, but it is surprising how many girls at TT schools can’t dress well or have feminine qualities. When you see photos of multiple generations, you see a decline in elegance and style. You don’t get a sense attending a TT school will make the child as worldly and cultured as going to school in Europe. |
Is worldly or cultured really what we're aiming for? I thought it was critical thinking and learning ability but to each their own. |
Who is to say having a high EQ wouldn’t take you further in life than a high IQ. |
This is Eurocentric. |
No, but it might make the child an engineer or a doctor or something inelegant and unstylish like that. |
The schools don’t really teach rigorous math to be competitive with Asia. The main advantage would be communication skills for the executive managerial role. The best talent is imported from abroad. |
Yes, Gates, zuckerberg, and altman. |
Cook, Bezos, Jamie Dimon, Buffett, Schwarzman, Bloomberg |
Oh, then they definitely should be working on that Mrs degree and focus on elegance and style. |
Europe - no growth, limited opportunities, behind in technology. what does europe bring to the table outside of history and luxury goods? |
and yet the biggest and most innovative companies in the world are based in the USA. |
??? I am not from the area either, I am from Asia.. I don't think your statement makes any sense... |
