SquirrellyMama Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I read this book several years ago, and found it fascinating. I thought I remembered part of the title, but no search is working. I think it was non-fiction. It is a book about parents trying to get their kids into New York preschools. It is very similar to the Nursery University documentary. I remember one kids parents were upset when he gave his seat to a girl at snack time because they felt he wasn't showing how much he wanted his spot in preschool. And, at the end one family was moving because they didn't get into their top schools. Anyone else read a book like this? Kelly Quote
Carol in Cal. Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) There was one that purported to be written by a NYC nanny—is that it? It was published as fiction but thinly disguised. “The Nanny Diaries” was the title. Edited December 28, 2020 by Carol in Cal. Quote
Drama Llama Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I don't know that book, but one of the funnies books I've read is May Contain Nuts which is about getting kids into secondary school in England, but could easily be written about my own neighborhood. 1 1 Quote

It is one of the funniest books I have ever read, and I read it over and over just for the writing. 1 2 Quote
SquirrellyMama Posted December 29, 2020 Author Posted December 29, 2020 None of these are right😁, but they all sound entertaining. I will have to read them. I forgot to add what I thought the title . It had a dollar amount and either the word decision or question. Something lime "The $40,000 Decision". It was the price it would cost for preschool in one of those fancy NY preschools. Unfortunately I am not getting anything.. Quote
