I don't think I ever said a word about it being based where someone lived. I said that many employers in TV take advantage of employees who have children enrolled in TVCS. Nor have I ever denied that it is a good school. As I said, my daughter wants my grandson there. From what I know and have studied about the schools, it would not be a good fit for her or her son.

The school is also geared to look good. So, if your child has any sort of issues from dyslexia to emotional problems (including ADHD), I sincerely suggest you look elsewhere. Your child will more than likely not qualify regardless of where you work.

Non-charter, local schools are forced to take all children regardless of where the parents work or any issues they may have so long as the child lives in the school district. Even with having to take any and all comers and a lack of funds, many surrounding schools do quite well (and, I believe, some of this is because of the many TV residents who volunteer at these schools, not just at TVCS).
