I'm a new mom and I want to be prepared for the "good" schools for my DD. What are the big 3? And, when do you start with the application for pre-school? Are there any magnet school for preschool/elementary in the Arlington/D.C. are? Thanks in advance for the info.

I'm sorry sweetie, but you seem to be lost. Let me help. This is the DCUM Farce thread, not the DCUM Bigotry thread. Passing bigotry off as farce just doesn't cut it on this thread. |
Happy to help! The "Big 3" are Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic. If your kid learns these, he or she will be on the road to academic success! |
Serious, read the forums and check out the atrocious grammar! Get your child help now!!! |
Maybe she could get the moderators to start a DCUM bigotry thread. The people who worry about so-called "low-income" problems in their local public schools would also feel at home there. |
I shop at 7-11. Does that count? |
PP, 7-11 does fall into one of the TOP TWO's for battery, coffee and condom shopping. |
I just read a mildly silly/tacky/thoughtless post on a nearby thread and I am immediately going to cut and paste it word for word into this thread. And I will do that eight more times today whenever I read something even remotely amusing in a way that you could make fun of in the right circumstances. |
But that's THREE things. Now I'm confused.... |
Like this "I live in an area with a large Hispanic community. In the last year, they have started to drop out of the area in droves. I think it is a combination of immigration enforcement and housing foreclosures. However, this has a really inconvenient downside. I noticed a lot of American teens are filling jobs at places such as my local grocery store. The teens are soooo slow at EVERYTHING. They cannot identify any vegetables and it takes them forever to check me out. One today did not know what a red cabbage was, ginger root, nor did he know green onions. WTF??!! The Hispanic people who used to do that job would hussle-they did not mess around and they knew their stuff. The Americans seem so lazy and slow. I don't like this. I want the good old days back." |
OMG, and I thought you were joking 21:29. There's just nothing to say about that one. And I was about to declare this thread over. |

Hey, it's kinder than commenting on the original thread. |
And kindness is what we are all striving to exude. |
