Unassigned and Angry? You are not alone.
May 19, 2010
Do you feel slighted? Do you feel left out? Have you noticed the increase in “For Sale” signs? That feeling could be from your child not being assigned to a Boston Public School. And the “For Sale” signs? Well that could be that it is Spring, or it could be ….. something else.
For those of you that are experiencing this for the first time, I am sorry. For those, like me, who have been dealing with this for years, it is more of the same. And for those of you that did get your school of choice, Congratulations.
Now I don’t know about you, but when I try to explain to friends outside the City about the process of getting kids into the Boston Public Schools, they scratch thier heads, often times think I am exaggerating, then tell me to stop complaining and move. It is very frustrating.
Like you I pay my taxes, participate in the community and I VOTE, so why is it that the Boston Public School lottery System is so broken? Why is it that a discussion has to take place in homes across this community, every Spring, about what to do about their kids? Should we move? Should we stay? Should we hold out hope that things will change?Shouldn’t we be able to all go to a neighborhood school? Isn’t it our right?
I am sick of loosing good friends and neighbors to the suburbs because of the schools. Something MUST be done.
What are your thoughts? How can we fix this? Is it a problem that needs fixing? Looking for some help? You are not alone go to the BPS Lottery Reform Group on Facebook.

Boston City Council Calls for Boycott of Arizona Companies
May 6, 2010
The Boston City Council Wednesday passed a resolution ordering the city to yank any investments in Arizona companies in protest of that state’s tough new immigration law.
The measure was met with no opposition from any member of the council and passed on a voice vote. Several councilors blasted the media for criticizing the council for spending time on the Arizona issue while Council President Michael Ross – who co-sponsored the bill with Councilor Felix Arroyo – said local and state officials need to step in because of “failures” at the federal level.
The measure is in protest of a new law in Arizona aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants which allows authorities to ask to see documentation from people with “reasonable suspicion.
