发帖数: 787 | 3 Here's what we did last year: Go to a local mattress store and find one that
feels firm. Write down the specifics and then call usa-mattress to find a
similar one with these specifications, since the names of the mattress
varies a lot from store to store. I think we ended up with "Simmons
beautyrest decatur visco Firm Queen". It is a fairly firm mattress and feels
pretty good after we get it. |

[1] "STEVENSON HIGH要我说就是个传说，这么大的学校怎么可能搞好， 据说只有最好
的前几个学生才能选择想去的大学， 1000多人， 这个比例和东岸根本就没法比。大学
走向不好， 几个高中毕业生给的奖， 比如说西门子数学奖比起别的高中获奖人数也少
。数学竞赛这几年也不行。这个学校还是白人太多， 虽然白人对孩子教育抓得比较严
， 比起移民还是差一些。
STEVEVSON 给学生分了几级， 没进最好的班的孩子大学走向差， 所以家长有意见，
一直想把这个分级制给取消了， 取消以后就会更差。NEW TRIER高中也是搞分级的"
I agree with it. Actually, many Chinese parents who have kids at those two

当林肯二十一岁时，他决定自己走到外面的世界，因此在他协助下，他家又进行了一次
迁徙。一八三○年三月，林肯一家人把犁和锄等农具装上牛车，前往伊利诺伊州（
Illinois）有着黑色土壤的乡下，他们在迪凯特（Decatur）以西约十英里处，沿着桑
加蒙河（Sangamon River）围起了一片十英亩的地，开始破土而耕，种起了玉米。
一八三一年，林肯开始在伊利诺伊州的小镇新塞勒姆（New Salem），担任一个名叫奥
法特（DentonOffutt）的店铺老板兼磨坊主人的伙计。二十二岁的林肯，已经完全独立
生活了。
当林肯在奥法特店里工作的时候，他经常和农夫互相交换些笑话和故事，而且也和
一些在镇里两间酒吧聚集的年轻人交上了朋友。虽然他这时候成了那些闹事者中的一分

何会威胁到他自我控制能力，或者会让他意志消沉的事情。
林肯是个嗜报纸如命的人，也因为如此，他对于不管是全国性的事情，还是地方事务，
均颇为熟悉。一八三二年，他参加州议会的选举。他叠起箱子在户外演讲，在各旅馆里

发帖数: 244 | 26 又看了一下CPS的网站，对芝加哥的公校的理解是，
1）Classical
有Entrance exam，考上了才能进。只有四所：Decatur,McDade,Poe Classical,
Skinner(North and West)
2）Magnet
没有入学考试，只有Random lottery，就看能否被抽中。
3）Neighborhood
住在学校的Boundary就能进。
那么是不是应该让娃先考Classical，考进则好，考不进再去Magnet碰碰运气，能否被
抽中，在不行，只好在家门口附近找个学校猫了。如果错过的每年的deadline,是不是
就一点补救都没有了？连Magnet都不能抽了？ |

You are absolutely right on this point. Nobody can argue.
I see. You do not know. If you want to know, you may do some math.
Please, allow me to give you some hints, which can come in handy when you
are planning a simple calculation.

scores another class (neighborhood class) should have got to make lincoln No. 14 ? ***

因此，要测试 Kindergarten level Math and Reading.
进入Kindergarten后, 读一年级课，
只有 两本书,

Spectrum Reading K
容易, 不考拼写, 可以阅读简单的句子, 就 OK.
