> “And I’m not into snark at all, so did not mean to offend.”
She loves me not… sniff…
Yes, I know the Childrens School – my kids went to inclusion preschool so I think very highly of the model and have done a fair amount of research into it. But that is just one of many factors that make up criteria by which to judge a school – it’s complex.
fyi to folks interested in dual language programs. there is one now a spanish program going into it’s second year at PS84 which is a magnet school with a very cooperative principal.
Re: special ed schools — The Children’s School on 3rd Avenue is a nonzoned lottery school for non-special ed kids, and *highly* competitive for many reasons that have precisely to do with its inclusion program… a higher teacher to student ratio, a lot of resources relative to other public schools, etc. They get a huge amount of applicants for few general-ed spaces from families in the neighborhoods around it. That said, I know nothing about PS 29 in particular, but agree that no reason special ed program itself would be a strike against.
Who said it was worthless? More power to whoever wants to pay a lot for this house. It just won’t be me, and isn’t this a blog to air one’s opinions? And I’m not into snark at all, so did not mean to offend.
So snarky, Miss Muffet…. The Sackett Street house in question is a two-family totaling 3100 square feet. That leaves maybe 2325 SF for the owners triplex – not really too huge (in my opinion) for a couple without kids. Personally, I’d love to have that kind of space!
Of course I realize that school districts greatly influence the price. And I am not even commenting on the price of this particular house. All I am saying is that a house is not worthless just because it doesn’t work for you and your needs.

Rob, guess what they have in the houses in Ocean Hill? A toilet (toilet only, no sink or anything else) that is technically in or next to the kitchen but it opens off the porch. It’s like an old outhouse that has gotten halfway to inside the house, but not quite inside. I think it is so cool. I guess I saw a few of them growing up in California. Makes me feel all fuzzy.
ha! awesome!
my first apt on the LES had the tub (no shower) in the kitchen and a toilet room in the kitchen. i wasnt concerned about the poo mist back then because i didnt bring any food in my apt and the kitchen wasnt used (in fact i kept my shoes in the fridge and my journals in the oven!) since i didnt have any closets.
*rob*
sorry meant 32, not 28… yes the school on Hoyt and Union is what I was talking about
True, Kris, but the quality of local schools is a big factor in house prices almost everywhere, not just Brooklyn. Appropriate to a real estate discussion whether you have guttersnipes or not.
