[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How far are you willing to travel to take your child to school? What's an acceptable commute time to you? [/quote] When applying for PK3, I initially thought commute time didn't matter much. I was willing to drive across town, as was my husband. However, as match day approached, I realized that I valued a short commute [b]and a strong community feel [/b] more than a novel curriculum. We ended up placing our IB--a short walk--at the top of the list. Have not regretted it, especially on winter weather days, when I can get to school without digging my car out. I should say, however, that we are zoned for Deal/Wilson. Had we not had good middle and high school options, we may have been willing to drive a little farther.[/quote] PP again. Added bolded, as this ended up being more valuable than we initially realized. [/quote]
