Has the World Gone Mad?

[Los Feliz Slim]

In a little while I have to take my daughter to an open house for a pre-school. She's EIGHT MONTHS OLD. We have to start doing this now because we need to get on a list for the transitional program, which gets you first in line for the preschool, which gets you priority for elementary (this is all private, obviously). This is one of the most economically sane private schools in LA. It's more than $10,000/year.

Is every place like this, or just LA? When I was a kid, you grew up, went to the school where you lived when you were old enough, and there you go. THERE'S GOING TO BE AN INTERVIEW PROCESS FOR [censored] PRE-SCHOOL. And everybody says you just CAN'T send your kid to public school in LA because there are a million kids, few teachers, and nobody speaks English.

It's just LA, right? Jesus, I have to get the [censored] out of here.
