[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because on the hill there are the "haves" and the "have-nots". People want to stay here. They want to send their kids to their neghborhood schools and half of those schools are great and the other half struggle with some very serious issues. There's gray area - for two hot seconds - and then those gray schools become the haves and the schools become impossible to get into. The situation makes people lose their minds and their humanity because there is no easily affordable private option and there is no charter option. [b] Eventually, the hill will have some of the strongest schools in the entire metro area if not the east coast,[/b] but right now it's tough - it's tough for those that want to stay but don't feel they can and its tough for those that feel they're being usurped and pushed out. And those that are in schools they like get lambasted becaude of jealousy or the parents coming into those schools have ridiculous expectations because they payed a mint for thier homes or the school are supposed to have amazing reps. PStents of elementary kids in this city are diseased. Lottery sickness [/quote] LOL.[/quote]
