  • When I see posts like "I'm so excited my DC is going to our zoned public", I laugh. There's nothing exciting about it - all you have to do is move to the damn zone - it's not like they can not accept your DC. They have to accept every reject that walks in the door

    • I am trilled that my dc will be going to Jericho public schools. Yes, all I had to do was buy a house in the Jericho school district. But am I not entitled to be excited? Same with the city.

    • I'm pretty damn excited that my DD can go to a great public we're zoned for after paying the RIDICULOUS tuition for nursery & pre-K. Damn straight!

    • exactly- and on the UWS that is every reject that has a decent job...and cannot afford private so they will make the public school the best they can

    • Just because it's not selective doesn't mean it's not good. My DC at selective, but if we had a great zoned school, I'd sure be excited about it. Good zoned schools in this city are rare, and anyone who can afford to move into a good zone is really lucky! I know many couples who could well afford private and have great kids who qualify for citywide and/or G&T but actually prefer great zoned public... more power to 'em. I wish I had that choice.

    • Wow, they like their zoned school, were lucky enough to be able to buy/rent in that zone & they are happy. What is your problem?

    • Oh come on. I know tons of people very happy dc is finally starting K and they are no longer stuck paying $15K a year preschool bills. And it's not like public schools are purgatory.
