Thank you West81st!

How much education to get rid of the fact your parent is a borker. How about a double borker parent situation?

Sunday: No problem.

w67: I still have my day job, and we try to shelter the kids from any mention of my dark sideline.

I have heard that the teachers at a popular G&T on the UWS alternate between gen-ed and G&T (i.e. G&T teachers sometimes teach the gen-ed stream).

W81 how can u be so tolerant of that arrogant piece of shit w67?

district G&T is the same curriculum as the regular Gen Ed. the citywides are more accelerated. I've been told that many schools will put the best teachers in the problem classes, not the g&t classes.

They have a slight British accent.
