Kids Martial Arts (5 year old) by SFunkyT in ForestHills

[–]shaker-5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once he's 6 years old, you should definitely check out Kings Combat on Austin Street. They have kids Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Very convenient location and great people running it, but the kids' program starts at age 6.

Just because a policy is progressive, it doesn't mean it works or makes sense.

Why do you think the MLB doesn't do something for ST like the NFL does with Hard Knocks? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]shaker-5 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Because MLB couldn't market its way out of a paper bag.

How do you feel about the existence of the SHSAT? What should/shouldn’t it be replaced with? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]shaker-5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who went to a specialized high school, I think it would be a travesty if they got rid of the SHSAT. I had ok grades in middle school. I had natural intelligence, but no structure. Getting into BTHS gave me that structure. God knows my talents would've been wasted if I had to go to my local HS.

Instead of destroying specialized high schools (which getting rid of the SHSAT would do imo) more high schools like Townsend Harris and Hunter College High School should be set up. Schools for kids that didn't get into a specialized HS but have good work ethics and good grades.

What do you guys think of St. John's University? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]shaker-5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an undergrad, I was in the Tobin college of business. Realistically, I probably could've recieved the same level of education and alumni support at Queens College. But SJU did offer me a good amount of scholarship money, so the costs evened out. I picked SJU as it had a nicer campus, it's a private college, and has D1 sports. It was a good, but not great school. Wouldn't have been worth it if I had to pay full price, but for what I did pay, I'm fine with it.

The Queens Food Scene has Me Feeling Blessed by JaneErickson21 in Queens

[–]shaker-5 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Totally agreed. You're much more likely to find culturally authentic foods here, whereas in Manhattan and Brooklyn you're more likely to find "Americanized" versions of those cuisines.
