The NYC school system confuses me. Join the club. Basically, most zoned high schools are really s**tty, but there are many schools with specialized programs that you can apply to. I think this part may have been changed, but when I applied to high school, you had to rank the programs you were applying to in order of choice, and most of the really good ones (including the high school I attended) would only consider your application if you placed them as your first choice. There were also 3 (now 6) specialized high schools where admission was based on your score on a standardized test separate from the rest of the applications process. The best of those schools was Stuyvesant, the school the kids in the New Yorker article go to.
I think that she's pretty, and the rentsecrets about her are usually really, excessively rude. "You could do better, Adam"... and it wasn't a bad picture of her! Argh. Yeah, those secrets are so immature and obnoxious. Did you see the one about Matt Caplan's fiance last week? It was so pathetic, I had to laugh.
Heh, it seems like the only thing capable of killing the Adam thread is an explanation of the NYC high school application process. *is highly amused by this knowledge*
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
