NYC Schools
- NYC Schools Did you guys read the letter about Avenatti's client? She seems like a revolting and mentally ill whore...(more)
- Please don't call another woman a whore.
- she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.M
- men do this too, and we don't call them "whores" or equivalent of it
- consider the source
- she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.M
- That guy that wrote that letter is bipolar. Not a great source
- He's also 350lb and was molested at age 9.
- I would not believe someone who claimed they were molested
- Ummmmm. Isn't that what Kavanaugh's accusers claim?
- I would not believe someone who claimed they were molested
- Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship.
- He's also 350lb and was molested at age 9.
- Swetnick said she liked group sex, and he said her father told him she “had psychological and other problems.”
- I know but read the whole letter it's credible....(more)
- No it isnt
- Swetnick claims she was gang-raped at a gathering
- Did you read it? LInk below...(more)
- Yes - boys at the party waited their turn to “gang rape” girls who had been drugged.
- Swetnick has an extensive history of involvement in legal disputes, including a lawsuit in which an ex-employer accused her of falsifying her college and work history on her job application.
- we know the claims, dear. they're bs
- Yeah, a 350lb man, former TV star, and victim of child molestation would needlessly lie about her
- have you heard of a thing called money?
- Who are you claiming paid him?
- think. hard.
- Wow
- some of you are so fucking naive. i kind of envy you
- Wow
- think. hard.
- Who are you claiming paid him?
- have you heard of a thing called money?
- Yeah, a 350lb man, former TV star, and victim of child molestation would needlessly lie about her
- Yes I did and I researched the person who wrote it that person is not highly credible
- Yes - boys at the party waited their turn to “gang rape” girls who had been drugged.
- uh, no
- No it isnt
- I know but read the whole letter it's credible....(more)
- The swetnick one? She seem morally challenged.
- You likely didn’t believe the women Bill Clinton raped either
- I read everything I could find on them and heard their stories, and no - they are not credible, and Ken Starr and Kavanaugh didn't think so either, which is why they attacked...(more)
- You likely didn’t believe the women Bill Clinton raped either

- NYC Schools Are there any good Middle schools in the city for dd with Anxiety? She's strong academically, but too much of a challenge makes her anxiety act up.
- NYC Schools Will ‘white flight’ happen with the changes to middle schools in District 15 (Brooklyn)?
- of course, white always run
- And smart clued in other ethnicities too
- Maybe cuz at heart everyone cares more abt their own kids than any sense of fairness
- This
- And do you fault that? Seriously? I certainly do not
- nope
- It already has
- Have not seen that.
- No. I feel gross when I tell my neighbors this, but I'm convinced very little will change. If they want real diversity there will need to be forced integration. This plan still...(more)
- Hope you are right.
- Maybe. Did you know that I'm SF Cardenas did away with Algebra in the 8th grade?
- Liberals want integration in name only. We really don't practice it.
- It’s being forced on us. DiBlasio really is clueless.
- Hahaha
- Home values in D 15 will drop!
- We already had school choice. No one was required to go to a zoned school since sometime in the Bloomberg administration. Not everyone was taking advantage of that. And the...(more)
- of course, white always run
- NYC Schools Would love to hear reviews/experiences of Birch Wathen Lenox School for on 7 year old with anxiety. I've heard mixed things. Thanks!
- is BWL a SN school?
- Geez, you got your bases covered

- is it more expensive than the other privates schools?
- No, same range as all the others in NYC.

- Lol. They are hardly accelerate
- Accelerated for $48k. It’s a gimmick to get sucker parents with “genius”kids to part with their money. Try Anderson or hunter which are free and the kids are actually smart.
- - no subject -...(more)
- Try a school near where you live.
- Neither of them will give you what you seem to be looking for, anyway. Try the for-profit schools, like Avenues. They're eager to please and may be more willing to promise you...(more)
- That school is even more of a joke
- Yeah, but they might actually consider a curriculum individualized to one kid, which is what OP seems to be looking for.
- Homeschool

- haha. Anyway, IRL I have never met anyone that sends DC there.
- NP. I did and they pulled the kid out after a year or so,
- Oh. I know Harvard, Yale, Princeton parents - they just send their kids to the existing schools. Hunter, Anderson, Brearley, I mean how much of an outlier is your kid most...(more)
- NP. I did and they pulled the kid out after a year or so,
- You'll need to.check it out for yourself. The few kids I've met from there had parents who were very concerned that everyone know their child was.advanced. The kids themselves...(more)

- Homeschooling is your best bet, but you should reach out and speak to someone at Speyer before you get information here.
- At that age, except possibly for very specific special needs, no school is worth that type of commute.
- - no subject -...(more)
- How would you do the commute? We live in Westchester during the summer, and we commuted for the first week of school. It took me 1-1/2 hours to get to the UWS. You will tire of...(more)

- NYC Schools My son started 4th grade and I think he ended up in a class which kids are not too academically inclined. Why do I think this? Because the smarter kids that were with him in 3rd...(more)
- No.
- you have got to be joking
- is a serious question. The kids look lovely and well behaved. This is just a concern.
- maybe he's not that smart
- He is, but he does not focus. Got a 2 in math because he could not show his work, but can do 6t grade math in his head and come up with the right answer.
- then he's not cutting it among the smart kids then
- He is, but he does not focus. Got a 2 in math because he could not show his work, but can do 6t grade math in his head and come up with the right answer.
- you are misguided on the smarts of the kids in his grade. i promise you there are much smarter kids in his class. you are basing this on slim knowledge of a few loud smart kids
- more attention for him. he is better off
- hmm, good point.
- they try to balance things out. maybe your kid is so smart they put him in to represent about 3 smart kids in the other class.
- NYC Schools I'll say it, this new desegregation program for District 15 looks so rash. The Upper West Side plan, which doesn't get rid of screening looks so much better. Can't stand the new...(more)
- Chancellor
- op: yes, typo
- No - calling someone a "commissioner" instead of "chancellor" is NOT a typo. What do you think that typo means?
- i think it means i'm tired. but seriously, how will g&t schools adapt fast enough to bring all students up to speed? how will underperforming schools suddenly challenge kids who...(more)

- "Thanks, but it doesn't work for us."
- Her reply when I said that, "This far in advance? Start saving now."
- "Fuck off, Nancy. Our decisions are none of your business."
- (Clearly no one at camp likes Nancy's kid which is why she is recruiting)
- ^or, you can just stare awkwardly at her and say nothing.
- she sounds OBNOXIOUS.
- "Fuck off, Nancy. Our decisions are none of your business."
- Her reply when I said that, "This far in advance? Start saving now."
- tell her exactly that. "If we're spending that much we would rather do a family trip to Europe."
- Why are you entertaining the conversation? Just tell her no, you guys have other plans.
- OP: I have. She's a nudge and I see her a lot because the DDs are close so while I'm assertive, No doesn't mean no to her.
- Go with the FUCK OFF approach I suggested above.
- Yeah...You're probably right but something tells me that won't fly and could be very upsetting and disruptive. I see this woman A LOT so need to not be total a-hole (even though...(more)
