TD,
You and I can both stop, take residence in AP, and stick our kids
there. but we haven't.
I'd take a gamble on those beers that Deal, Allenhurst, Belmar have
LESS HS age kids eligible to go to AP. Then you have determine why
those parents CHOOSE to send their kids to a private school, parochial
school or to a county speciality school. IT's choice. You and I have
made it as well, by choosing to live in towns other then AP with a
schools that are well diversified in race and incomes - that being
Howell and OT. OT and Howell are not the same as in 1996 nor in are
they in our era of the late 70's either. In '75 my class (8th grade)
had 3 african american students - and I can name them. In '79 I could
still name a few more african american students. And I;m saying I can
name them as a good thing casue we were all friends. I can say today
the make-up of the the student body, at least in OT, is about as
diversified as it can be on all levels - race, incomes, family status etc.
As such, in my view, the teaching methods have changed dramatically.
I wish I could convince my son to go to CBA, and I'd be willing to
pay. It's school. Not a playground. They'll kick your ass out as fast
as they cashed your check.
As for qualifying to go to a speciality school, you shouldnt have to.
