I've got some coworkers who were born and raised in NYC who are so happy to be in providence. It's not impossible.

Providence and Warren have some great fucking food. Barrington is a wealthy suburb with good schools, East Greenwich is also good but a bit further on the opposite side of providence.

For insurance purposes you're going to be restricted to certain caterers btw, we went with Pranzi and they were.... fine. Nothing bad but nothing "good."

You're intentionally comparing/contrasting "white students" with "riff raff," right? I'm not just misreading this? And please expand a bit on being fortunate over a lack of diversity.
These two statements come across as wickedly racist and... I just kind of want to know how to proceed here.

I guess I'm really just struggling to understand your point at all. You seem to be saying that the increase in MLL services in providence is proof of a lower quality school system. Is this because you think a focus on these services lowers the academic rigor? That it attracts those with less academic interest? Why does "see look at how much effort is going into bilingual teachers and classes" a sign of a worse off school?
Or I've completely misread your point and would kindly ask you to restate them for me.

"Look at the demographics!"
"I don't have them do you?"
"No but obviously they prove me right"

And maybe it should have been as it would have been a benefit to those students?
What were the demographics in the 80s and 90s? I don't have historical data on hand.

Do.... do you think bilingual teachers and dual language classes are a bad idea?

I'm not familiar with Johnston but I would be hesitant to send my kid to Providence schools if I had another option. Depends on which specific schools you would be districted for I suppose.

Will is a good guy, if he doesn't have space for a new student (or I'm incorrect and he doesn't even work with adults) he should definitely be able to make a suggestion.

Lots of doctors in Tiverton, too. Maybe Bristol might be fun for you?
