You know, not everyone wants to trade up every 5 years. And if you stay in one place during the whole school experience, hello Prop 13!

As opposed to us SITKAs. Single Income, Two Kids, Arggh!

Yeah, I know. Almost a rhetorical question. Just trying to drive home the point one more time for those slow players who can’t keep up.

BTW, I think I have commented on the child bearing thing. I don’t have ‘em nor have the interest. Bleen’s THINKER acronym sounds good to me but I’m beginning to doubt the “early retirement” part. Well, unless I decide to look for a bagholder this year maybe.

What’s his “thing” anyway? We know it is not mathematics. We know it is not logic. It’s definitely not spelling. Sports maybe? Color matching?

The other high school can score 200 points higher and it still wouldn’t matter if you don’t have kids who are high school age!

Tell me, Roger, why would you recommend spending a million dollars on a house in Birdland when there are homes on the other side of Saratoga-Sunnyvale that get a high school that scores 110 points higher? I understand math isn’t really your “thing” but I assure you that 110 points is statistically significant (that means it’s, like, important).

This isn’t a timed exam, so please think carefully.

Must be due to kids from North Sunnyvale, sort of like the Menlo-Atherton High syndrome. Anyways, most people buying there are not your age. Their kids are likely to be in kindergarden, elementary or at most middle school.
