When someone learns that we live in the city school district, they ask, "But what are you going to do about SCHOOL????" Yes, the school district is uneven - it's a city school district. It also has an excellent gifted & talented elementary school program (as well as a Spanish immersion program at the same school) and a high school that is consistently ranked in the top 100 public high schools in the nation (#50 last year). Yeah, there are a lot of "poverty schools" (using the pre-K teachers euphemism) too, but you would think from talking to people that any child enrolled in the Buffalo public schools is going to be shooting heroin by the end of kindergarten.
When someone learns that we take public transit every day, they ask, "But what are you going to do in WINTER????" Um, put on a coat? Put snow pants on the kid? What, do they think that the trains stop running as soon as there's snow on the ground? Or that we are incapable of wearing boots and warm clothes?
