[quote=flu]Yeah, but do you blame us? Look at all we had to give up….Real leather versus Pleather in our cars, TRACT homes with dissolvable walls, no AC and no front and back yard…. No furniture in our home except for the $99 Ikea special…
Not like we’re living a luxurious life like some of more privileged, affluent constituents in wealthier Mira Mesa… I mean, most of us workaholics slave away and return to the Slums in Carmel Valley after working on that information super-railroad, brick by brick…For shame.[/quote]
You were on a roll until you got to the walls. I definitely have to beat. At least you have walls to dissolve. Unlike CV, us in MM have to deal with unbearable heat. We’d die if we didn’t get AC. I also have your furniture beat. I’m still using the dining set we bought for <$200 many years ago while we were renting.
With that said, I think you're just having a case of grass is greener on the other side. Would CV schools be where it is with the reputation it has w/out the kids from those tiger parents? Mira Mesa schools can use a few more tiger parents. Just look at the API scores of the subgroups. TPHS and MMHS are pretty comparable until you get to the Asian category. TPHS Asian blew by MMHS like it was standing still. Would CV be fetching to premium it does w/out its schools?
