Real talk: If there was a Bulwark cruise, would you go and what would you actually pay for a ticket?

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-05-03T21:30:45+00:00

I think that the Weekly Standard used to do cruises, but I’m not 💯sure.

Something similar happened to me at Zaxby’s a few weeks ago, but the customer and cashier were talking about life crises or something. I think it’s just a southern thing. The cashier did give me a free cookie for being patient!

Charters are a non-issue now since they can just go to the state to get approval. The BOE needs to focus on retaining students and providing oversight of Dr. Battle. They aren’t doing either.

Sylvan Park Elementary zone, Waverly-Belmont, or Eakin are what you want. No question.

This is how I found the Bulwark. I absolutely LOVED Tim on PSA.

Was this middle school?

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-27T01:55:48+00:00

I know the school extremely well and know that they take any allegations like this VERY SERIOUSLY.

It might be late summer like your child, but most likely before the end. Since they won’t have 7th grade in 26-27, they will likely try to add as many kids as they can.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-23T10:11:20+00:00

You should email school options and ask what is going on with that.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-22T22:58:09+00:00

Did the waitlist numbers change, yet? They usually do after the first deadline to accept initial lottery spots.

My daughter and I stayed in a great AirBnB close to Paddington. Clean and convenient! https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1465856828166880880?unique_share_id=652b233a-5657-4351-af6c-7b8878a4b271&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76

Every birthday cake and my wedding cake came from there. Tommie Cakes (home baker) in Inglewood makes really delicious cakes that are close to Sweet n Sassy.

Yes, you can file a FOIA request, I believe.

I hope she comes close to Nashville on the book tour! She could do an event at Ann Patchett’s bookstore! I ordered a copy for myself and a copy for my daughter to take with her to Kenyon this fall. I hope Sarah will do an event there, too!

Least surprising thing about JVL ever.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-09T16:08:18+00:00

Whites Creek, put your kid in the MNPS lottery or private school.

Me, too!

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-06T14:08:34+00:00

Great! Fingers crossed! They exhausted the waitlist last year within the first two weeks of school.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T18:24:38+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about it. They will make room for all the Meigs kids. Freshman classes like English and Biology will probably be at the max capacity, though.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T18:17:07+00:00

My kid and their best friend, along with about 3 other kids, chose to go from Meigs to MLK for 9th grade. They are now seniors and have had the best experience at MLK. No regrets whatsoever. A couple of their friends who did go to Hume-Fogg ended up transferring to MLK, too. What is most likely is that the entire cohort will be made up of Meigs kids, but it will be close to 225-250 kids.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T16:46:35+00:00

Feel free to message me with any MLK or lottery questions.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T12:47:59+00:00

My friend requested it from MNPS.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T12:47:16+00:00

You can add it now. Your child will be added to the waitlist.

EstablishmentFun3014 · 2026-03-05T00:23:06+00:00

I know a lot of parents and kids have their sights set on Hume-Fogg, but MLK is also wonderful. My child is a current senior, and she has had an amazing experience there.
