[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much jealousy of HBW.  It's funny.[/quote]

Why do they get all of the benefits, I don’t care about the supposed program, but they have the smallest high school, they have the newest building, they have the classic traditional 50 minute periods that are much better especially for kids with ADHD, and they had a late start time.

It’s like you take all the best parts of high school and you put them in one place why?[/quote]

Calm down.  Their education is no better and their college placement is no better.  I should know.  I had two go there and two go to Yorktown.  [/quote]

I don’t really care about college placement, I care about my kids having enough sleep and having a good environment to be actually ready for college not worried where they’re accepted. [/quote]

You're nitpicking and helicoptering and treating your kids like babies.  As I said, the education is no better.  And that's why you go to school.  For an education.  Your little babies can handle the neighborhood schools.

As for being "ready" for college, my Yorktown kids were just as "ready."[/quote]

I’m sorry you don’t look to improve things for your two Yorktown kids, but when we see things that are unfair, it’s reasonable to ask why it can’t be changed. [/quote]

They're not "unfair."  Being "unfair" not only means that one is definitely "better," than the other but that (2) the "better" thing are is equally possible/doable at both schools notwithstanding their differing sizes, offerings, locations, etc., and (3) despite this, only one is getting the "better" option.

That doesn't apply here.

My Yorktown kids didn't get any worse of an education and they had a great time.

You need to take a deep breath.[/quote]
