I grew up in the "poor" neighborhood for my school, which was anything but. However we were next to Pasadena, grew up at an elementary school built on a toxic waste dump, and no other neighborhood was near us that fed the school. By 8 miles. We definitely had a chip on our shoulder.

Out of touch with reality either way. Those kids need to spend a few weeks working in the sun on a mission trip somewhere, work at the food bank, push a mower for a few summers. Of course they're poor. They're kids. They need to be reminded of that, and they need to understand how little others have, so they don't spend their limited time on this ball trying to impress people in a t.u. sorority, or using their money as a substitute for character, intellect, or love.

Have you ever been around wealthy kids (or wives for that matter) who are top 1% of wealth but complain like they are in the bottom 10%? This is THE drawback to a school like Memorial or private schools, and it's a big one.
So I shouldn't strive to earn as much as I can for my family while keeping the work/life balance and try send them to a public school I feel puts them in the best position to make the next move of their choice?
I'm confused with your logic? Should that guy make $700k/year and send them to northbrook or Westside just bc?

I would really try to avoid sending your kids to Memorial if at all possible. Even if you lived in Hunter's Creek or Piney Point, i would make every effort to get them transferred over. While you have Northcrook on one extreme end of the spectrum, you have Memorial on the complete other end. Stratford strikes a healthy balance and is more heavily comprised of kids raised by down to earth, God fearing people. Too many psychopathic narcissists (the types that tend to be hyper successful/driven and in the top 1% of the top 1%) in the 024 for me.
If you have no choice and must send your kids to Memorial, spend a lot of time across I-10 and make sure to expose them to real life brown and black people from time to time. The 77024 bubble can suck you in and screw you up for life if you don't escape it every now and then.
Why would a Spring Woods parent recommend Stratford? Spring Woods is still about a decade away from being respectable.12thMan9 said:Signed,BG Knocc Out said:

This post oozes '024. Memorial people weren't always this way. It was a pretty respectable bunch growing up. Now if you point out the fact that there is a disproportionate amount of borderline psychopathic money worshipers who are more focused on money than their children in Memorial, you are "envious".12thMan9 said:You are likely the typical envious SHS parent who is oblivious to the bubble you live in as well.BG Knocc Out said:Why would a Spring Woods parent recommend Stratford?

Maybe you haven't met the narcissist SHS parents, yet. Maybe your kids haven't crossed paths with the druggies at SHS, yet. Maybe you haven't heard the silence from parents/coaches as one of their students hurls racial slurs at the opposing team & refs during a sporting event, yet.
All of my down to earth MHS kids & parents friends understand where we live or lived, same as the SHS folks we are friends with, coach with, drink with, etc.
The demographics of both schools are almost the same, so maybe the SHS kids should take a bus to the north side of I-10 as well.
Memorial has a better student/teacher ratio, performs better on the key measures folks look at when deciding on where to possibly live.
So, if OP's selection criteria includes the better school and nothing else, MHS wins.
How attractive are you? If they haven't already reached out, they likely won't. And yes, I have deep ties to the area and those schools and am very well aware of those types of things in that community.bigjag19 said:

I wont even bring up the rampant adultery and known swingers' community prevalent in the '024.
Good luck, I hope your children turn out to be the exceptions to the norm.

550-600 kids graduate that HS every year. Your attempt to pigeon hole and stereotype is comical at best. I live in the Stratford area now but went to MHS and you couldn't be more wrong. My whole wife's family went to and live around the 77079 area and our families are best friends and really don't see any difference. I grew up in Hunters Creek.
You're just being a keyboard ***** and might say these things when over served with your bloodshot face and not remembering it like a lot of my Coach O type neighbors, but that doesn't change you being a self righteous jack wagon to folks that are your same speed and pretty dang close demographically and culturally. Jeezus christ.
Come find me on Pinerock and discuss it with me.
