- New York City Is it possible to get promoted in August without doing summer school?
- Oh, hi. Welcome to YBM, newbie
- Yes, but schools require a certain # of credits, like in college. Dd flunked her foreign language class. Guidance said Make up that credit senior year when you have more free time...(more)

- OP - this is specific to NYC public middle schools.
- New York City How difficult is it to transfer into Wagner from another D2 Middle School?
- It's the zoned school. They have to place you. You may not get SP right away but you'll land there eventually once they get to know your kid
- Easy.It's the zoned school. I know about 12 kids who did from Salk and ESMS plus moved in from out of the city
- Thanks - good to know. So we can just contact the parent coordinator to request the transfer?
- yes

- New York City Trying to hire for an entry level masters position...(more)
- I have a masters. What can I do for you?
- MSW?
- No, sorry.
- MSW?
- Hire me to help hire for this position! Where are you posting?
- tried alumni job boards, idealist
- There must be a more specific job board for this position. Can to tell me as I know of many of them?
- msw

- New York City Who can I talk to discuss best strategy for NYC public school dc? School team has been remarkably unhelpful.
- What specifically are you talking about? G&T?
- best strategy is what sense?
- Joyce. Google joyce nyc public. She will talk you through it, she does this as a business. She's very good
- $$$$$
- How much could it be for a half hour consultation? $100? If you have no one else to advise you it's worth it
- not really. $300-400 I think is money well spent to get a great list of schools, a one on one tutorial about the process, some nice hand holding and great strategies.
- np - lol...I JUST had a meeting with her for HS. She is amazing.
- How much was it? I think she's worth every cent
- $350 for the HS consult. We worked with her for Middle School and she was amazing then, too.
- Is that for a half hour in the phone?
- haha! No, two hours in person.
- ^we did that for elementary but I don't remember what she charged. This was like 4 yrs ago
- Lol. Hi Joyce!
- trust me, she is not spamming on YBM.
- This.
- Yeah - a message board of NYC parents would be no interest to Joyce. She's above it all
- I'm the one that suggested her and I'm not joyce. We just found her very helpful for what op is looking for. Believe what you want. I can't film myself typing this to prove I'm...(more)
- lol...ditto. She's incredibly busy. I think she is absolutely fine without having to post about herself on YBM.

- New York City Just got letter that dc will not be promoted to next grade. It's already been a nightmare of a year!
- Do you think that an extra year in this grade will be good for them?
- it might be. So the question is, is summer school mandatory?
- Summer school.
- This would have been a Meeting. Fake
- Op here. Not fake. Nightmare.
- Were you informed this was a possibility?
- What kinds of a bullshit school does your child go to? That isn't something that gets sent home in a letter.
- I agree. Unfortunately school has not been communicative at all.
- This was the best thing that happened to my DS. Was a shock and blow at the time but was really good in the long run
- Did your dc repeat the year or do summer school?
- That's never an option?
- What's never an option? Repeating? Is summer school mandatory?
- That's never an option?
- Did your dc repeat the year or do summer school?
- How did you not know until now?
- Because school communicates poorly.
- So shitty public
- Because school communicates poorly.
- Do you think that an extra year in this grade will be good for them?

- Not crazy, normal to grieve the loss of someone, even if he wasn't in your life anymore.
- You don't at all. So sorry :(
- How old?
- 45. I have no idea how he passed. Obit said 'died unexpectedly.' He was a superb athlete and marathoner and health nut.
- It doesn't. And you have every right to grieve.
