I'm from Nor Cal and when I moved to So Cal for college and nanny'ed, I was SHOCKED at how different the school system is in LA...The public schools in the Silicon Valley are pretty top notch, and I went from 1st grade all through HS.
The New Adventures of Old Christine cracks me up because that's exactly how it is...Kids competing for placements in private junior high schools, high schools -- Seems really stressful when you're 9 or so!
