[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Van Ness Elementary School definitely has a good upside going for it now.  The fact that they are only opening with PS3, PK4, and K will give the school the ability to focus on their early childhood education program, while giving the parents of the school the ability to choose a curriculum later (when more grades are added).  The school is undergoing a $20 Million renovation over the next 2 years, and will incorporate the current parking lot, as well as the Joy Evens park into outdoor recreation space for the school.  There are tons of new housing currently being built, so this brand new school will surely attract families looking for new housing zoned for a new school.  Also, it was announced that they do not project that this school will be a Title I school, so you Van Ness will most likely not be a school that is mostly concentrated with kids coming from poverty (which we all know tends to lead to dysfunctional classrooms).[/quote]

Do we all know that poverty leads to "dysfunctional classrooms"?

Also, since when do parents get to "choose a curriculum" for a public school?

Maybe you should go private. [/quote]
