What you are describing is an indictment on the parents and not the schools. That is what happens when parents treat the school as a babysitter and are not involved. My kids are young and well educated and go to the schools here. Then again we take an interest in their education.

Which thread is better, the "Atlanta living" or "dfw suburbs"?

Ever consider that your anecdotal evidence of 1 more likely indicates your nephew is a moron and is not an indictment of an entire school system? What dumb school did you go to, to generalize an entire region's schools based upon 1 mouth breather? If it was private then I'd say no way would I ever send my kid to a private school. Sure, they can spell and diagram sentences (because we do that all the time in the real world) but developing a cohesive argument based off of overwhelming evidence? Nope, they all fall short. :rolleyes:

Spent more time thinking about this than I should have. But I spent zero time diagramming sentences in college. Or high school for that matter, was a jr high thing where I grew up. I took two years of calculus in high school, but no trig.

Schools have been good for my kids. None of my neighbors' kids who have gone on to college have reported issues.

Much like the airline I picked, won't know if I moved my family to the right place for a long time. Similarly, so far so good.

Dumb school?

How about the kind which taught me how to construct paragraphs comprised of complete sentences?

WTF is that gibberish you cooked up? Really? What are you even attempting to communicate?

“Brawndo-it’s what plants need....” That’s a loose translation of whatever the hell I just read.

Son. You have no room to criticize anyone’s academic achievements.

Go crack a 5th grade English book before you try to bring it.

Glad you are satisfied with your results. Set your sights low enough, and you’ll never be disappointed! Southside public schools seem like a great fit for you and yours!

Well that escalated quickly

I was just here for the entertainment but I couldn't help but laugh that the next sentence after "complete sentences" started with "WTF".

Touch a nerve did i? I feel like you've done a better job than me at proving my point. Thanks for the help.

Yep.

You win!

(Because gibberish is all the rage these days.)

I know this thread is kind of old... Anyone have experience living in Midtown? Looking at relocating from the east coast down to Atlanta. Married no kids. Thanks.
