[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my lord. My friends: we've lived through a renovation. It sucked. If you've never done it, I don't recommend it. Building debris and dust are not safe or healthy (as we learned the hard way--think stinging throats and burning eyes). Kids at Maury Village suffered a similar problem when they had the (benefit? Hah!) of going to school for two years in trailers next to an ongoing construction project: https://wjla.com/features/7-on-your-side/children-sickened-at-dc-school-environmental-contiminants. Would you want to work next to an active construction site? (Be honest. You wouldn't.) So why is it okay to ask the same of young children? [/quote]

Yeah, [b]you're one of the 3 parents who overly freaked out over that.[/b] It was inconvenient and didn't seem totally thought out, but really NBD and passed like a flash. Now we have a perfect brand-new school. But hey, I'm sure that there will be many, many parents willing to take SWS spots from families that can't deal with trailers and trucks for 2 years. [/quote]

Not, actually. We had no horse in that race. Glad your kid enjoyed that shit show though. :D[/quote]

So you didn't even have a kid at Maury Village and yet you're here opining on it?  Gotcha.

Nah bro. I commented on dealing with construction and its ill-effects, and invited parents to consider whether that’s something they’d want to put their children through, citing Maury as an example. If you need help with reading comprehension, perhaps your preschooler can help. [/quote]
