This year was too dry, then too hot, then too wet, then too cold, then too dry again. I sort of gave up. The only thing that did spectacularly well this year was the tarragon.
My kids arenât interested but their babysitters have quoted it back to me. I watched it occasionally as some of my roommates were fans but it wasnât really my humor.
That said I can impress the youngâuns as I have attended a live screening (VIP no less.) A good friend was friends with one of the writersâŚ
No. Or letâs say, they are mostly for expats or people who want a bilingual school for whatever reason, or rich kids who are less academically inclined. Private colleges are also less academically selective.
My kids are at a really excellent (public) gymnasium, a short bike ride away. Only criterion was making the cutoff grade which was easily done. The challenge is more about maintaining the GPA to stay in and their Abitur grade when they get out.
We went for a traditional Humanities gym - the science curriculum is at least as good as the science focused gyms (they participate in Olympiad) but tend to be more demanding because Latin/Ancient Greek weeds out a lot of families. So yes basically they are reinforcing the class structure but itâs not something Iâm going to be able to solve personally and certainly not through our school choice.
(We did however skip the Ancient Greek option...)
Congratulations on the reviews! Love that youâre serving GrawĂź, surprised they even have enough volume to be distributing in the US. Spent a lovely afternoon in Cermes there with a friend who knew Dominic.
It would be particularly disturbing if the outrage is about âwhite rockâ being cluelessly un-PC, rather than simply how decoupled such assertions are from reality.
