I am sad today.

The era of the Eastern Seaboard public magnets is coming to the end.


We have friends who have had their child prepping for the exam for about 4 years. I thought it was insane.

Whether there’s a test or not, students should be picked on merit, not chance.


And yet somehow other magnets are able to successfully choose their classes.

The lottery was the right idea. Too bad you couldn't figure that out.

Mediocrity and becoming China's whipping boy. Racism can make people so short-sighted.
