So that question about your residence being owned or rented? That came back to bite a friend of ours -- her son's test scores were at the top of the chart, his mom works at and graduated from the school to which he applied, but because "too many" people own their own homes in their area, he was not admitted. They're going private instead. There's more to add, but I'm kicking around doing my own post (will definitely refer my humble handful of readers here). We're marking that four people live here and that's it, end of story.Urban Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690541595129734035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-61359476225985499402010-03-18T13:04:25.623-07:002010-03-18T13:04:25.623-07:00Um... hows about "Human" raceUm... hows about "Human" racemomattoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070336724281188744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-37320523064339749432010-03-17T16:29:19.593-07:002010-03-17T16:29:19.593-07:00I'm also wearing a white sweater as I type. B...I'm also wearing a white sweater as I type. But unlike you, there aint much difference at all! (My classmates at Kahuku used to call me "freezer burned" ha ha.) I'm fine with whatever they wound up putting on the form. I don't particularly care about the "why." I find myself feeling sorry for the guys composing that section because I've already heard quite the rant on NPR's Native America Talking about how there's no section for individual tribes, The Louisiana Creole were campaigning hard to get people in their tribe to specificy "Louisiana Creole" as a write-in. <br /><br />I'm sure that section was much shorter years ago. In ten years it will probably be much longer. Much ado about nothing.: ) Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686980881776447666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-11898066564865769952010-03-17T15:34:21.625-07:002010-03-17T15:34:21.625-07:00Well said!!!!!!!!!!
