After a program at the school where the children performed their Greek Mythology/Greek Salad dances they had created with a visiting artist, I joined a group of mothers who were driving to another part of Brooklyn to drop off packets containing copies of report cards, standardized test results and letters of recommendation for their children because they had heard that this “good” school might have some seats available for out-of-district students.
Then we drove past some schools that we hadn’t yet had time to visit.
Some of the moms were joking that the PTA should sell knee-pads as a fundraiser because they could sell them to parents willing to do “anything” to get their child into a good school.
Ha, ha.
