and never mind the hazards their products pose to public health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
32,000 Americans are killed every year
in auto accidents,
Well shit, guess we better start going back to horses and buggies.

Fits Plano. I went to JHS in Plano. Plano is safe but boring. Also, fuck Plano. I got so many tickets there for driving while young and in a modified civic.

32,000 is an incredibly low number in my mind, considering we have over 300 million citizens and that 299 million of them can’t drive for shit.

That’s Plano alright. But the high school is highly rated, and I wouldn’t mind us going to that instead of having to pay Bishop Lynch tuition. Oh well.

PESH or West? I went to Frisco. And Bishop Lynch is expensive as all get out, but it’s a top notch Catholic school so... what do you expect? We looked into it, because I went to Catholic JHS, but Frisco (at the time it was the only high school in Frisco) was (and is) a good school with lots of resources, because fucking Collin County and McMansion Richy McRich votes 80% Republican *froths at the mouth because of how much she hates having grown up there*

This article is standard architecture critic fare. Plenty of personal politics and social views liberally sprinkled in between occasional references to the actual usefulness or intelligence of the design. This guy decries the modern corporate suburban campus, but fails to mention any feasible alternative. In the end, any one of us could write as an architecture critic because such articles are mostly about personal aesthetics and very little about the architecture.

My understanding is both are pretty good. Yes, all those wealthy or near-wealthy people live there, but that means they can afford the facilities and their ISD takes good education seriously.
We live in East Dallas right near BL and go one of the nearby parishes. So, my daughter will matriculate with several people she knows. But, yeah, tuition there is higher than my first year at Cornell when I went! Still, the neighborhood we live in is fabulous. You can’t put a price on community, even though the public high school is out of the question. Also, we’re close to my work. I could never commute from Frisco or Plano. I’d go nuts. We thought about moving to Sunnyvale or Richardson. Sunnyvale ISD is really good, but to move anywhere with a good ISD means spending money. In the end, we’ll stay here and save for HS and college tuition, each in their own accounts.

Eh, I don’t think any foreign car companies have a North American headquarters that’s anything special. Really, the only two architecturally notable automotive HQs on this continent are probably the Henry Ford II World Center and the GM Renaissance Center. The rest tend to be pretty standard suburban office park fare.
Especially Mazda.

I started my journalism career at Frisco High School, because the school had a journalism program from the beginning, and eventually put an entire Radio and TV broadcasting section into the school building. We went from working as interns to public broadcasting, to a storage closet the school gave us, to an actual purpose built RTF classroom and office space. Frisco was the equal of any private school, and it gave me a leg up on doing what I do. And yes, the wealth of my neighbors certainly made $5000 cameras, $10000 editing machines, etc, a very real thing I got to use.

That’s so cool. At the elementary school level, kids don’t need to get fancy with the facilities. They mostly need decent classrooms and people who are dedicated to educating them. In HS, having the stuff that gives the kids opportunity takes more money.
