[quote=Anonymous]This is a wonderful thread. Just how many of you providing comments on this thread live in Ward 7? Well, I do.  I played the lottery four years ago and won a Pre-k slot at a Ward 3 school. Our in-boundary school was not a option at the time. Stayed there for four years. The school is frequently mentioned here with much love/hate sentiment. After four years of in-bound/OOB politics, our child's commute, and other bullsh*t, we decided to try our neighborhood school in Ward 7. The experience has been an eye opener. Our current school is wonderful. The teachers are supportive and excited about my child. However, the kids are definitely rough (foul language, fighting), which is a bit of a culture shock for my child who grew up in calmer school environment. The switch from ward 3 to 7 has matured my child positively, rather than negatively. My child has had exposure to things this year that wasn't available at our ward 3 school. I could write a book about this.

I would like mention the fact that there are extracurricular activities and programs located east of the river that are free or affordablely priced where hill parents take full advantage of, but yet scream about ward 7 children invading their schools.[/quote]
