In public schools, the push is for all 9th graders to be in Geometry and some even go into Algebra II. So starting out with Geometry in 9th grade and ending with Calculus A/B or C sounds right. But I think that as long as you are in either Calc. A/B or C in 12th grade, you are ok in college...

So those must be the lots I saw that are backing to an inside street.  I like the floor plans on these but we prefer a 3 bedroom with a loft of some type.  None of the San Mateo have a loft.  Also, the price seems high when compared to some of the detached/attached products out in PS.

The Kumon off of Yale in Northwood seems to be for keeping up and the Kumon off of Barranca in Woodbridge seems to be more about getting ahead.  They stress a goal (and give out a gold star) to kids to get to level G in Math by 5th grade (they call it G by 5).  Level G is algebra.  (I think kids...

Stopped by at San Mateo today.  They are now at phase 8.  They have two lots with the backyard facing an inside street (i.e. not the main street like san canyon).  Those are good lots so I was surprised that no one on the "waiting list" wanted them.  I think the price on the plan 1 was $561k...

Hi we are looking for a good baby sitter.  If anyone knows of one please PM me.  thank you  :)

By the way, despite the fact that there is an expectation for supplemental teaching (either by the parent or tutoring), I still like the elementary school.  It is well run, the teachers so far have been very organized and ready for feedback/good response time, the kids are well behaved and...

My son's class last year was mostly asian (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc), and has like maybe one or two caucasian.  The kumon I visited (the one in Barranca and the one off of Yale) had mostly the same mix of kids (i.e. asian).  It seems that people put their kids in Kumon to...

We transitioned our child from a Montessori (k and 1st) to a public school (2nd).  The biggest surprise for me was the fact that parents were responsible for teaching certain things.  We got math review notes and books to go over with our child at home as supplementary learning.  I was just used...

I am curious if the prices have changed since their initial release?

Maybe you are right.  I've heard from parents that it is a hit or miss in terms of teachers at WB elementary.  The main complaint being that the academics is not rigorous enough. I also know of several parents that really like WB elementary.  In fact, I know of at least one family that moved...

The primary grade CDC teachers are great and the director at this SG center is very responsive to parent input and will take action immediately where needed (and if she is notified).  I'm sure that if one of the parent complains about it, it would never happen again.  (By the way, this CDC...

I heard that a cdc "teacher" at SG elementary school made his kids do 50 push ups and sit ups in the hot sun.  When a girl asked if she could sit out to rest since it was too hot, this teacher told her no.  Hmmm...this is for CDC child care - summer camp...  this teacher must be just getting...

Given the choice, I would rather have a bigger yard than a driveway.

They are planning to sell lots 16, 17, 64, and 65 next.

Stopped by and found that phase 4 homes (four lots) are sold and they will be selling the next phase soon.  The "backyard" on most of them are really like a side - walking path on a normal SFR (the one you usually use to drag the lawn mower from the garage to the backyard). It seems almost...

I think couple of reasons for WB's lower performance are 1) used to be El Camino elementary that had teachers who did not have a very good reputation then (same teachers moved over to WB elementary), and 2) there are at least 2 low income housing projects in WB (I know of a family with parent in...

Yes, would love to see LV II in CV as well :)

Ooops, I missed that, so he must be living in one of the four quartet condos?

Was looking up Santa Barbara in WB when I came across a blog listing some cons of living in an SB condo in WB.  http://www.samsuke.com/2010/09/06/santa-barbara-woodbury-is-not-the-best-place-to-live/ It is always very interesting to get candid opinions on neighborhoods by people who actually...

Ok, I just read that in phase I of the Doria Apts, there will be 60 units out of which only 10 units are reserved for those who will be receiving services through the Orange County Health Care Agency?s Mental Health Services Act.  Nothing on this doc. saids anything about "serious" mental...
