Endowments, PTAs, and Associate Teachers

PS 6 Lillie D Blake states on their website that they have an associate teacher in every classroom K-5. AI tells me they have $1.2m annual income from PTA funding, which is double PS 234 in Tribeca. Is having this much money, and having associate teachers unique only to PS6, or do most of the better schools have both of these? How much does this matter to you as a parent?

Bathroom question about Bar Check-in

They tell us to arrive at 8am, and be in our seats at 9, test starts at 930. Does this mean we cannot use the bathroom between 8 - 930, or in particular in that 9 - 930 period? Like I do not get the situation. Can anybody who took the test tell us the bathroom situation? I would prefer not to shit myself at 930am sharp.

goat trix

Hey everybody I am just wondering what exactly is in the goat trix module? It says "A compilation of all MBE Tricks modules and assorted MEE topics." Can anyone expand on that? looks great just curious what it is cause I am mostly interested in not falling for MBE traps. I think my general approach the questions is bad across the board.

Agency, Partnership, Business Associations

I am not so good at math.

Agency, Partnership, BA can be at most one an entire essay right? That is 1/6th of the essay portion of the bar, which counts for 30% total, and therefore this entire area of law can count towards 5% of the total bar exam max.

Is my girl math right?

Cause I cannot memorize one more damn thing.

62nd and 2nd

Thinking about moving to this corner. 15th floor, facing right above 2nd ave and closer to 63rd. How is this corner, how is the noise, smog, etc? Moving with small kids and not super familiar with the area or this block. Thanks!

Lenox Hill vs Tudor City

Family with a one year old and four year old. Moving to NYC, where I will work around midtown. Would you rather live in Lenox Hill around Queensborough bridge, or in Tudor city? And why? Thank you.

PS Already zoned for preK school comfortable to both neighborhoods, but could change next year.

I cannot understand this one.

What am I not getting here? Did his becoming enraged, snatching a revolver, and pointing the gun and pulling the trigger, not provide "cool reflection for any length of time, no matter how brief"? This question honestly pisses me off.

Back up Day Care at Firm

Has anyone here used the "back up day care" benefit at your firm, and is this generally understood as emergency use only or can this be used like once a week? Is it any good?

Barbri elements inconsistent?

I have noticed that there is sometimes an inconsistency, or a missing element, between the barbri lecture, the CC book, and then the CMR. The CMR tends to line up pretty well with chat and grossman. Anybody ditching the main book and just starting right the CMR? I just started crim and the lecture seems to match better with the CMR than the CC.

Arriving Late in the School Year

We are moving to mid city, District 2, but cannot arrive until halfway through the school year. Our child will be in pre-k. Will we be able to get a spot at a nearby pre-k, even if not in District 2? Does anyone happen to know of Mary Lindley fills up for example? Thanks

I keep trying to make rule statements from Barbri and from the explanation in practice questions.

Then I look at Grossman's outline and it just seems like a much tighter version. So then I almost always end making a flashcard based on Grossman's version, and then I might add a little to it. I think without doing barbri also I might not have such a complete understanding, but barbri also adds a ton of exceptions etc. When there is so much to memorize, I can't understand why memorization can't start and end with grossman.

My question: Have you passed using only Grossman for everything? If not, how and why did you supplement?

Second question: Did you make your outline/flashcards? I am, cause it helps me memorize.
