Re: Attending the J.C. Public Schools

I've heard that if you are a student in a charter school, if you move away to another town, you can still attend that school.
Also I have to ask...why would anyone want to put their kid in a JC school if they live somewhere else? It's not like the schools here are top notch. Unless we are talking about McNair. From what I remember from the news a while back there were employees of the BOe who had their kids enrolled there who were not residents. They were not paying anything and I think they changed the policy that restitution had tobe paid in instances like this. I could be wrong. And I have to disagree with jersey mom. If this is a nonresident child in the prek program you should report it. The prek program is free to our residents bc of Abbott funding. This person would be getting free daycare when they don't deserve it. It's just wrong.

Fine. Tell me how you can park in a red zone by accident? Please do, because we all learn when we get our licenses that a curb painted red means you cannot park there, EVER. Every zone I've seen painted red or yellow has a No Parking sign. The only thing I can see how you may accidentally park in a yellow zone is when the sign says no parking on school days. Other than that, most yellow zones are the areas that are painted on the end of a street, with No Parking signs on them.

He parked in a yellow or red zone. Apparently, people can do this "by accident".

Just wanted to chime in here. We order from here often and we love it! Today I ordered a salad for the first time and it was great. I've been pretty disappointed with the salad options in JC and was happy to get a tasty and filling salad for a very reasonable price.

Perhaps the dogs were snarling and barking at the officers aggressively, which led them to feel like they were going to be bitten. The guy was asked to leash the dogs and he didn't. How is this any different than a man who has a gun and is waving it around? He'd get shot too if the officers asked him to put his gun down and he wouldn't.

Personally, I think that anyone who has 6 unleashed pitbulls in Jersey City is up to no good. I have my doubts that the owner is a fine upstanding citizen who we should all look up to.

So the guy has 6 dogs who are acting aggressive and the police are supposed to call animal control and wait for them to show up and do something? So what would have happened if someone walked down the street to go to work and got mauled? Then everyone would have blamed the police for sitting on their asses and being lazy and not taking care of the situation. You can never win with the people on JCList I guess.
I am fine with the police doing what they did. Whether they were pit bulls or just large mean aggressive dogs, they obviously were running around, unleashed and were behaving in such a way that the police felt they had to intervene. I assume someone called it in because they felt it was a dangerous situation. Even if it didn't go down that way, no one should have 6 large aggressive dogs running around unleashed in this city. At what point did animal rights become more important than public safety?

No one said you shouldn't be angry and no one said you shouldn't try to get your refund back. My post was in response to the person who posted his address, telling everyone that she intended to harass the guy at his home and encouraging the others to do the same. Sorry, but I think that is completely f*cked up. What, you think having angry mobs of people beating down this guy's door is a solution?
The business hasn't even been closed for a week yet. There are other ways to try to get your money back. Personally, I'd try to be as calm as possible to try to get answers before getting angry and screaming and yelling. No one is going to help you if you act like an @sshole and pound on his door to tell him off. On the contrary, you'll probably just get arrested yourself and get a restraining order. Wow, that's a solution, don't you think?

Ita. And IMO, if you have 400 in cash to spend on "gymnastics classes" for your two year old son, you can't really be hurting for money. Yes, 400 is a lot of money but your life is not going to suck bc you lost it. Id be very upset if it went down the way she said it did, but not enough for me to post joes address and go over to his home to harass him and his family. Also remember that this guy lost his livelihood! He has children in the community and I am sure he feels awful and embarrassed. Try calling little gym headquarters before you march over to this guys house to yell at him. Next time, pay by credit card. You would hav avoided this whole mess if you just did that in the first place.

I can understand being upset but honestly, why would you ever pay cash for something like this? Always use your credit card, you have no protection if you pay in cash.
By the way, if you harass this guy at his home, he has every right to call the police on you. Is that a better behavior to do in front of your 2 year old son?

Did you grow up in NJ? Because again, Seaside Heights ALWAYS had a bad reputation. The only people that went there were the "Jersey Shore" type. It was like this in the 80s, when I was a kid. We always called it Sleazeside in high school and the kids always went there to party and hook up. Did the various Real World shows ruin the reputation of those cities? I just don't think it's going to be as horrible as you people think. It seems like a lot of you are clutching your pearls over the horror, the horror...

From what I've read, the show is supposed to be about the two girls getting a job. Who knows how much partying they are going to do in JC anyway. NYC is just a short PATH ride away.

I don't watch the show. Personally, I think it's awful and I hate the "Jersey" connection. However, I don't really think it's that horrible they are filming here. JC is a pretty big city and downtown is pretty big too so I'm sure the city can make room for filming.
I can see why Hoboken said no, they are a tiny town with barely any parking and very residential. They already have a ton of people at the bars etc, this would make things even more crazy. JC just doesn't have the nightlife that Hoboken has, so I can't imagine it would be any where as bad as it would be if they filmed in in Hoboken. Everyone outside of the JC/Hoboken area thinks that JC is a crime riddled ghetto. So maybe the new show will show that you wont get shot by a gang member if you hang out in downtown.

Because if you read the OP, he said he parks in these zones and happily pays them and considers it a "tax" for living in JC.

Honestly, I've only gotten tickets for expired metered parking probably no more than 3 times in my lifetime. And I pay them as soon as I get them without complaining because I know that I screwed up. And all three times were accidental, I thought I was back within the time period allotted and I was mistaken. Nobody mistakenly parks in a red zone. You do that on purpose.

If you really can't ascertain the difference between parking in a red zone, vs having your meter run out whether it's accidentally or not (and I would hazard to guess that most people do not purposefully leave their cars in a metered spot for longer than the allotted time), then I really can't help you there.

Getting a ticket bc your meter expires is a completely different issue than KNOWINGLY parking in a red or yellow zone. I think people who blatantly ignore parking rules and park where they are hindering the sight vision of other cars and pedestrians are pretty juvenile and selfish imo. If you can't find a legal parking spot near your home or wherever you are heading, keep looking until you do. And btw, parking in a red zone IS violating the law. That's why you got the ticket.

There probably have been too many tickets and complaints and also repeat offenders so perhaps this is their way of teaching you guys a lesson. Who knows? Hopefully you will get your answer when you go to court.
Generally I don't violate traffic or parking rules which doesn't make me a perfect driver, more like a law abiding one. I don't like to pay fines and get tickets.
