big007,
no child leave behind 即係有教無類, 校內band 1-band5都一齊, 你冇得踢學生出校, 只有等佢畢業.... well, 所以有咁多又為間學校要搬屋.
Amanda 未出世, 我哋買屋就係make sure, PS, IS 係toppest. 同埋區內只有白人住(we were the first Chinese family here), 記得初初搬嚟, 鄰居就話我哋知they care all holiday, home decoration is a big thing.. Well... I love it.. Valentine's day, Chinese New Yeae, Easter, July 4, Halloween, X'mas... I make it big, I make it fun! 燈飾光過街燈.... 大人, 小朋友係用...嘩一聲嚟形容!
呢間屋, 真係冇買錯!!!!
however, end up, Amanda 冇入zone school, as DOE 送咗佢返city 讀citywide gifted school.

PS 係公立小學 (1-5年級)
IS 係公立初中 (6-8年級)
HS 係公立高中 (9-12年級)
zone school 同區小學, 跟住址嚟分, 只有一間, 冇得揀 therefore, 咁多父母---"孟母三遷"... 揾好zone school.
所有zone school係 "no children left behind".
DOE (department of education) 教育署
