Author    Post   twotap F L I N T O I D The Womans hospital was on Lapeer rd. my wife was also born there maybe she and LT HERE shared the same nursery.

I can remember signs on Ballenger, just North of Beecher Rd: "Site of New Flint Women's Hospital". I think the name was changed to McLaren before it opened. I think that was the old FOH. My grandmother used to work there as a nurse. You're right. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

I live in the city, in the College Cultural area. A visit---and a chat with my husband, a native of a small Canadian town, might enlighten those men to the advantages and safety of city living. And while you're visiting, I'll invite you to chat with my very erudite 13 year old daughter, a product of two very fine Flint Public Schools. We LEFT Grand Blanc after kindergarten because we believed our child needed a more diverse, less materialistic environment. We have never regretted our decision.

I am sure she would have received the same all the left all the time education in GB as I am sure she got in Flint schools and in much safer surroundings.

Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:29 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Well that splains that. No ugg boats in Flint. If you were really looking for a diverse and non materialistic area to move to why not the north end.

Oh my, you altered your post. I can address this issue also. Are you aware that Grand Blanc has eliminated its academically talented education program? Flint, on the other hand, has introduced an academy specifically for high achieving students. I'd place that school up against any suburban school anywhere.

If you were really looking for a diverse and non materialistic area to move to why not the north end. We wanted a DIVERSE environment. The north end of Flint is no more diverse than Grand Blanc. Different, but no less diverse. Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:41 am  twotap F L I N T O I D Well ya learn something new everday. I had no idea that Flint schools were so high on the academic list, why ill bet folks will be falling all over themselves to move back just for the educational opportunies avaliable. By the way my daughterinlaw while getting her teaching degree was forced to spend some time in Flint schools she has a much different take on what actually transpires in the class rooms. Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:44 am  Deena F L I N T O I D http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/achievement/mi/1492#standards MEAP scores. Whittier. Compare them to state averages---or suburban schools. Incidentally, my daughter has received all "1's" since she began testing. It's always wise not to speak of what you don't know.

If the composition and clarity of this writing is an example of the fine job of education accomplished outside the city, I'm doubly glad we opted for Flint. Mon Nov 26, 2007 9:51 am  twotap F L I N T O I D I thought we were talking Public schools? This sounds an awful lot like a private or charter school. [/quote]One more thing.
