I think the reports in New York get 25% or so of the fine levied on offenders.

I transferred there from SCH. The academics were much more rigorous at GFS, and the students at GFS took their schoolwork much more seriously. It wasn’t easy, but I’m ultimately glad I transferred to GFS. I was able to get into a good college and get a high-paying career.

I really don’t understand how these people don’t see that they’re on the wrong side of this. I’ve been both intrigued and upset by this story when I first learned about it last year.

I love their dumb little faces

Seems concerned about having their picture taken
Who you lookin at buddy?

That doesn’t sound right. Mine was approved within 24 hours. Calling won’t do any good. Go here and click on “to make an appointment use the qless platform”. You should be able to make an appointment for tomorrow.

What you pay for at GFS more than anything is it’s reputations and connections to college admissions. It’s easier to get into the school when you are younger so the longer you send your kid there the easier.

I know a number of people that are alumni that are probably better off for having gone, but absolutely hated it

That's extremely high. Could see that for a business deemed high risk (often based on its merchant category code) and/or with many chargebacks (customer disputes). 3%-4% average is more typical for many small businesses.

Assuming the $3 is right, the merchant acquirer (payment processor) is probably gouging her business. Sometimes it's not obvious either. It could be their base rate is competitive, but many of her transactions aren't qualifying for some reason and being charged more. Lots of reasons, including some types of cards, such as high rewards travel cards, Amex cards, etc.

Should shop around or, if sales are relatively low volume, use a pay-to-go option, such as Square, PayPal Here, etc. Most are around 3%. While not great, the hardware costs may be cheaper, especially if one can use their own devices, such as tablet, phone, etc. Many merchant acquirers bundle in the hardware cost into their monthly fee. Maybe that's where the excessively extra cost is coming from.

In short, she should shop around.

I’ve never heard of Sophie’s. What does one order there?

Have you ever played a slot machine? What about playing a slot machine … on weed?

If your looking for the truth your going to need to find that on your own. Asking a parent who sends there kids there will of course have a positive view. Even if you ask a public school parent, they would report their school doing well compared to the others.

GFS is a fine school.

I’m a CHA (now SCH) alum and even despite the recent“troubles” in the um… faculty, that education has been the foundation for my successes.

But there’s nothing wrong with Penn Charter too. Lots of friends went there.

I can hear the systems of oppression wailing in terror at the thought of Helen Gym as mayor.

I see Meredith mentioned in here all the time like it’s the answer. But that’s an elementary school. What happens for high school? You’re still going to be stranded and have to pay private or catholic for high school regardless. Meredith is also rated 7/10 or 8/10 depending where you look and still behind most suburb elementary schools. So while it’s a great option for people who can afford society hill housing it’s not the answer forever.

talkin bout my generation?

Good god, thats what kids paid to board at Choate(where JFK and countless others went) when I was in HS.

My tuition to Exeter (a top 3 high school in the country did not cost that much)
