How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child?

I appreciate that. I am not trying to dig into an indivivual's financial position(although if it has been revealed by the person fair game...).

Is this the neighborhood with the welfare frauds and the child molester?

OK, you are in one district that covers ten towns and I don't know how many elementary schools. If they ARE exactly all the same to me that is some kind of a nightmare because there is no curriculum that is going to be the right curriculum for every single child, and it seems like ALL the kids in your district are supposed to learn the same way. That is just not reality. But I really doubt that ALL of the schools in your district have the same classroom size, the same demographics, etc. Were they all built within ten years of each other or something? Otherwise, how do they all have the same floor plans and stuff?

It's OK. The child molesters and welfare frauds aren't invited to the parties where the nice ladies buy and sell the pirated purses.

Hey, I thought 50 was the new 30, lol. That is my theory anyway.

No, the welfare fraud was not in my neighborhood. Yes, we do have a pedifile in our neighborhood but if you go on the sex offender website, you will see that there are many in everytown. One bad apple does not make for a bad neighborhood. He married into the family and lives in that house now. Hopefully he will be moving out soon. I doubt it though as the generations all live there.

Yes, most of the schools were built around the same time and the others followed the floor plans of the others. There are many different classes for the children but each grade is learning the same thing. Why would there be a different ciriculum for different classes? We have 5 or 6 classes within one grade and there are approximately 20-25 kids in one classroom and that does go for all the elementary schools.
