The Ideal School?

Our Los Angeles mom, Sandra Tsing Loh, broadens her school search by looking at a private school.

In this clip from her performance piece, Mother on Fire, Sandra visits the heavenly Wonder Canyon School. At first, Sandra is very impressed. Then comes the sticker shock.

Home Prices ÷ Test Scores = Pi

In my last post, I introduced you to Sandra Tsing Loh, our intrepid L.A. mom, who's looking for a school for her soon-to-be kindergartner.

As the first day of kindergarten is drawing slowly but surely closer, Sandra realizes how much work she still has to do. She's even considering uprooting her family and moving to a neighboring suburb, just for its lust-worthy test scores.

In this second video clip from her performance piece, Mother on Fire, Sandra does her homework into the relationship between test scores and home prices. Do home prices ÷ test scores = Pi (or API)? No, wait, just watch the video and find out.
