    Common Core vs. STEM

    Yes, it's only offered to 7th & 8th. My kid was in the OH STEAM class when it first began at the school in 2011. Curious to see how much the program has grown since my youngest will be taking the class this year.

    New Cell Tower in OH

    Already got both the microcell and wifi calling on my phone. It would just be convenient to get a better signal when I'm out walking around the OH loop. I just find it ironic that I get better cell reception (sometimes full bars) when I'm out camping in the woods or in the high desert than I do...

    New Cell Tower in OH

    There was a new cell tower installed about a month ago at the corner of Furrow/Culver among the orchards. Anyone knows if this is a single carrier or shared tower? I have ATT and I still get only one bar at Furrow/Culver.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    What's with the beds having only fitted sheets on them? Plus the open house on 7/30 is from 2am-5am. Is this place a swingers club?  ;)

    Online SAT Prep - Kranse Institute

    For those who are interested in SAT prep courses, I read about this company on Brian Henge's blog and his son got accepted to multiple Ivy Leagues and Stanford with a perfect score after taking this course. You will get 30% off, if you use the code "limited30." It brings the costs down to $349...

    Move from Tustin to Irvine School District Boundary in 10th grade

    Since you will be doing an interdistrict transfer, you'll need to submit a transfer application from IUSD releasing you to attend TUSD. If your kid is currently attending Beckman, it's typically closed to transfers, since it's an impacted school. Call the school office to verify. If your kid is...

    Builder Contract Per Diem Question

    Is the lender that you're going with the one that is preferred by Richmond American? If so, there may be a possibility that you can get the per diem waived, since it's Richmond American's preferred lender. When I bought my home, I went with the builder's preferred lender, because I was told by...

    AP courses - confusing

    As for Beckman, AP classes start in sophomore year and you do need a teacher's approval to get into the class. Basically, if you're a good student with no behavior issues, you'll get into AP. AP students will also have summer homework before class begins in the fall. Also, if your kid is taking...

    Orchard Hills Residents - TUSD Side

    My kid currently goes to OH and even the staff doesn't know when/if it will ever be converted to a K-8. All the classrooms are being utilized by the existing 5-8th graders. Each year this school gets more and more crowded & I've had kids attending there since it has first opened in 2010. It...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    Even people who pay $2M+ put in the absolute minimum in landscaping. There's an owner in the Amelia tract that only has sod, bird of paradise and the required two trees for their front yard.

    La Vita at Orchard Hills

    Looks like the owners bought in June 2015 for $1,807,500. This owner wants $2.6M and the only upgrade is a cheap landscaping job. Those pictures are horrible! At least the agent could have cleaned the lens of the camera phone so the photos wouldn't have been so hazy.
