is your school closed during the Papal Visit?

I predict it will be like LA in the Olympics. Everyone said it would be nightmare so folks carpooled, took public transit, stayed home, left earlier, etc. Traffic in LA actually ran more smoothly than in normal circumstances.

So, start working on your plan now, folks; it's not like you weren't forewarned. Find that neighbor who you follow to school every day across the park and agree to split pickup and dropoff. Don't know anyone? Start a convo on your school's listserv and work out a plan. Who knows? Maybe you'll make a lifelong friend.

How old are you that you remember the traffic in 1984!

I know - freaky huh? I realized I was dating myself as I wrote that. I was actually old enough to drive during those Olympics, but I didn't live in LA.

Sure, that's fine for the students who live within walking distance. Unless all the staff lives in the neighborhood, it's still going to be a problem.

Um, the PP could easily be in his or her 40s. It's not exactly ancient....

Thanks a lot Mr/ Ms Smug! If only my neighborhood school taught more than 15% of its students to read at the level of proficient!

If you and a bunch of other people in your neighborhood sent your kids there, the proficiency rate might go up.

Sir Smugness- are you going to pay for an organizer to convince all of my neighbors to switch schools?

Why did the people buy in the neighborhood in the first place? Oh I forgot for-profit Charters.
