The Berkeley Parents Network just shared some really interesting statistics about who is and isn't getting vaccinated for whooping cough around here.

And so I am forced to ask: what the hell is wrong with parents in Marin and those sending their charges to Montessori schools?

ETA: I'm a little curious as to what it is about the DTP shot in particular that people object to, but I'm also afraid to poke around to find out. Like I said elsewhere, it's already been a hard week.

Special snowflakes don't get pertussis.

Seems so. Piedmont Unified rates are also really low.

As is Piedmont Ave. in Oakland. I think we're just on the other side of the line for that being our neighborhood school.

A little exercise: text-search "Waldorf" and look at the PBE column.
