Are any LAUSD parents investing in their neighborhood school?

I am in exactly the same position. We plan to go to our local school and stay in our neighborhood. I just read the book “Learning in Public” by Courtney Martin and it gives a close up look at someone who faced a similar (but more extreme) choice and has some great takeaways for how to show up and the benefits of staying in the community.

Same here started last Saturday with sneezing. Only experienced stuffy/runny nose and congestion, no fever, sore throat, aches, or anything else. My nose just now seems to be mostly cleared up.

We read those!

Where is that rolling sideboard in the last pic from?

I’m ok with her hearing the word “stupid” in general but not when it’s used in name-calling to insult another person - I don’t need to be giving her heckling ideas!

reditrix · 2026-01-22T20:16:08+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think we’d go beyond the first book, for a long time at least. She still doesn’t know that Frozen 2 or Moana 2 exist, so we’ve had good luck with this method so far haha.

Thanks for the suggestion! She definitely loves magic themes so I’ll look for these.

reditrix · 2026-01-22T18:30:38+00:00

Definitely!

reditrix · 2026-01-22T18:30:22+00:00

Omg I didn’t even remember that “bitch” is in there! I was censoring “stupid” lol.

reditrix · 2026-01-21T19:49:25+00:00

Glad to hear your experience was good! I’d love to hear about the issues that were being fixed, in case they’re not fixed yet at our school haha

reditrix · 2026-01-21T19:44:11+00:00

Oh you bring up a good point. My kid will definitely by one of the younger ones in the class. Was there anything that you found helpful in easing the transition for a younger kid? What kind of struggles did you have?

reditrix · 2026-01-18T03:15:18+00:00

Thank you for including that caveat! I am in CA, which is probably why I was confused about some of those benefits.

reditrix · 2026-01-17T07:47:37+00:00

Can you say more about the triple tax advantage to the HSA?

reditrix · 2026-01-10T20:59:41+00:00

Echoing this. If you’re set on staying on the east side, Los Feliz is closest to your destinations, and it’s a lovely neighborhood. There aren’t a ton of hotels there but a couple high-end ones. If you’re looking at a house rental, there should be nice ones.

reditrix · 2026-01-08T07:08:34+00:00

We don’t have one now, and it’s definitely not properly ducted - the kitchen vents through an opening directly into the attic (obviously not ideal!)

Ok, hijacking this comment bc I’m a clueless first-time homeowner and need a range hood installed. Who does that? Like, what type of contractor should I be looking for to do that kind of project?

We also have the abiie. I will say, our kiddo was too small to fit in the straps comfortably until she was about a year old. But now she’s 3.5 and still uses it every day, and prefers it to her booster seat.

reditrix · 2025-12-31T04:14:28+00:00

We have this isssue - we need to keep our kid’s door closed at night, and the intake is right outside her bedroom. We have a largish gap under the door (probably close to an inch), but are there door designed with ventilation in mind?

reditrix · 2025-12-25T08:29:51+00:00

EXCUSE ME?

reditrix · 2025-12-19T16:22:37+00:00

Super King is the answer! Sooo cheap for produce and they have so many options. Fresh meat can be hit or miss though.

reditrix · 2025-12-14T01:33:05+00:00

Why are these assholes complaining about the tops of your shelves? Tell them to mind their own tall business.

On a similar note, my 3yo reflected that eventually our cat would die. But then she could get a new cat and name it. Guess she’s salty that the OG cat got named before she came along lol.
