There are attractions in Arlington and Grand Praiie area. Timeing would be a big concern as traffic can slow or stall. There should be traveler brochures of attractions near the car rental or any hotel lobby.<br><b>References : </b><br>Live in Fort Worth Fort Worth is 30 miles west of Dallas.

In any case- probably not- with that sat score, thats simply too low at both schools unless your gpa was higher- which is also on the low end of admissions stats (mychances.net) You may have to go to a cc. I would apply, you may get in, but the chances are probably only near 10%.<br><b>References : </b><br> Just a quick thing- you still wont qualify with family in washington- you need more than an address to get in state tuition if that makes a difference (it goes by your legal parents/they check given your high school is in Texas more than likely).

]]> Comment on What are the pros and cons of living in Frisco, TX? by Prairie Girl http://dallasprogressivetalk.org/frisco/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-living-in-frisco-tx/comment-page-1#comment-6925 Prairie Girl Sat, 23 Jan 2010 22:52:59 +0000 http://dallasprogressivetalk.org/frisco/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-living-in-frisco-tx#comment-6925 All three of these towns would be a great choice. Plano is much larger than the other two. Plano population is estimated at 270,000. McKinney 121,000, and Frisco 103,000. If schools are important to you, Plano has exemplary schools, although the others do have good schools. Plano varies greatly in income and house prices with the newer, more expensive being west of 75. Plano is the only one of the three with public transportation. You may not need it but it brings a population that does. Frisco is a bustling, young suburb with most homes and income about the same. It has the most shopping, but the other two are so close that it's not a problem. McKinney has a more relaxed, country feel, although since it's really starting to grow, a lot of new stores and restaurants are up with more coming. Here are some stats that may help you. If you have any specific questions you can email me - my sister used to rent in Plano and then bought a house in McKinney. Plano - median age of population - 34 median household income $90,000 median price house $220,000 median price rent $1,000 Frisco - median age 31 median income $103,300 median price house $257,000 median price rent $1,150 McKinney - median age 30 median income $85,000 median price house $193,000 median price rent $ 950<br><b>References : </b><br> All three of these towns would be a great choice.

]]> Comment on Are there any good montessori daycares close to irving blvd and pioneer? How much would they charge per child? by mattfromasia http://dallasprogressivetalk.org/irving/are-there-any-good-montessori-daycares-close-to-irving-blvd-and-pioneer-how-much-would-they-charge-per-child/comment-page-1#comment-6927 mattfromasia Sat, 23 Jan 2010 22:29:59 +0000 http://dallasprogressivetalk.org/irving/are-there-any-good-montessori-daycares-close-to-irving-blvd-and-pioneer-how-much-would-they-charge-per-child#comment-6927 I'm confused about what the purpose would be to have Montessori for only 6 months then switch to a different model. I don't think that would be beneficial. Montessori is designed to continually move a child's development forward and is designed to be a method that looks at the child through a long term goal, rather than a short term goal. I'd hate to say it, but I don't think a well run Montessori school would take a child for a short term such as that unless you were moving and considering Montessori somewhere else after your move. Your best bet might be to just find a regular day care that offers those things if your primary goal is to have someone watch them during that time.<br><b>References : </b><br>Author of the Montessori Blog: http://www.myspace.com/montessoriblog I’m confused about what the purpose would be to have Montessori for only 6 months then switch to a different model.
