[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess since I am not from here I don't get it. No snark intended but we should expect more. This stuff doesnt happen in other places. Sorry it just doesnt, and we pay some of the highest gaxes in the state.  Sitting on a radiator is not comfortable and not conducive to learning. They have had all summer to get lockers ready what is facilities doing that this wasn't taken care of? At my school we have a sinkhole for a parking lot. I have seen whole neighborhoods be built in the time it has taken for the supposed slow process in getting a parking lot fixed. A few hiccups is okay. But we have and pay a facilities and transportation department to get these things as close to right as possible. I am not sure they are even trying and we should just laugh it off? sorry I don't mean to sound cranky but this is kind of astounding to me.[/quote]

OP here.  I don't mean to frustrate you.  I'm clearly resigned after having sent 4 kids through the system, and overall, I'm happy with the big things at this point in time.  I realize that the administration is pretty darn awful, as has long been documented, and I understand that funds are not always spent wisely.  Were I at a different school, one that's less impressive than Roosevelt, and if I had no options, then I would absolutely agitate for change--and I think it's great if you go that route.

The few times I have chosen to agitate have been extremely frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful.  I don't regret trying, though, and I just don't find myself bothered much anymore by kids not having lockers for a week or someone sitting on a radiator for a short time.  What upset me more was when my oldest was at public elementary school and wasn't challenged in the least.  That was the impetus to send the next 3 to private school in PGC from K-8.  I realize I'm lucky to have had that option.   [/quote]
