It Makes You Wonder How You Keep From Going Under

Liz Garrigan interviews private school teacher, Alan Coverstone on his run for school board and his controversial decision to send his oldest child, who is zoned for H.G. Hill Middle School, to a private school:

Had we gotten in the lottery, he would have gone there. The reality of the situation is, by working at MBA, I have the opportunity for my kid to go to a school that I could never have gone to, to learn from great colleagues I respect and maybe even to teach my own kids. And the best preparation to inspire him for that transition was at University School. I never thought he would get in because maybe it’s a two-year gig. [Because he’s on staff at MBA, Coverstone’s two sons are eligible to enroll in MBA free of charge once they reach the seventh grade.] So that’s it.

Alan Coverstone discussed his decision on his now dormant personal blog but the entry seems to have conveniently disappeared.
