*Not to say I don't believe they exist, like the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin. I'm pretty sure they do.

I don't believe in public schools unless I happen to live in a particularly wealthy community with excellent schooling.

Gross generalization, TL.

The problem (in NYC, anyway) is, while there may be many perfectly good public elementary schools, by the time you get to middle school, there are very few. There are some good public high schools too -- but the middle school years are tough. If you're not in the private school system by middle school, you're hosed -- it's even more difficult to get in than it was in kindergarten. Man, sometimes this city sucks.

Plus, how great would it be to get your obnoxious fifteen and sixteen year old out of the house for a few months here and there?

I would like to live in a particularly wealthy community because that might mean we are particularly wealthy, but alas, such is not the case. We moved to a place with decent schools and can't afford private schooling anyway, so it's good thing we don't have to. Texas is not known for its educational system by any means, but many districts around here are fine.

If you are anti private school, that is a little differnt than being anti private school in general. Don't hate the playah, hate the game.

I hear the babies in the private schools did this months ago and are now working on advanced trig. I'm just saying.

Can anybody recommend a web site for quality birth announcements? I'm looking for a traditional paper announcement - not a photocard (I plan to enclose a photo in the envelope). My only misgiving about ordering on the internet is that I don't know what the paper quality will be like. But I obviously don't have the luxury of spending time in a paper shop, so if anyone out there has ordered from a site you liked, please pass it along.

I did not do the Brazenette's birth announcements there, but have used them for all of her birthday party invites. They've got a great selection, are reasonably priced and you can order the stuff printed or unprinted.

btw, don't forget to order thank you notes.

I'm making the kid a sweater, so I need to know sex and size.
