We--my partner, my kid, and I--have 2 days left to decide whether said kid stays enrolled at her neighborhood elementary school or enrolls in a specialized gifted education program that offers services she very much could use in a different school.
There are pros and cons. But the thing I can't get over is that the other school--the only place in the whole district where these services are offered--is in a no walk/no bike zone. As in kids are literally banned from #walking & #biking there.
@DrTCombs
What the heck is a no walk/no bike zone?
@Andres4NY @wauz It's a school policy that I've heard is enforced rather vigorously. I'm not sure how, but it's also kind of moot given that I'm not going to ride my bike on that road with my kid either way. Two lanes, no shoulders, heavy traffic, high schoolers and impatient parents behind the wheel? nope.
@Andres4NY @wauz Gah, these sorts of tradeoffs are so frustrating!
@DrTCombs
I see. This state needs a regime change. I strongly recommend to turn it into duchy. I also volunteer as first duke.
@DrTCombs @wauz Wow, when I first read this thread I assumed the school set a(n unenforceable) no walk/bike zone. But it's a city/state law?? 😡
