[quote=Anonymous]I'd focus more on quality of life for all of you than on college prospects. For what it's worth, I grew up a professor's kid in a state not know for the quality of its schools. I attended public schools with a good share of other faculty kids. I was able to get into an excellent (not "fancy") college and excel there. I'm sure it helped that I had involved parents who valued education, and in retrospect I appreciate not being raised in a high-pressure area. (My own teens are doing fine, but I think the expectations for high schoolers in this area can be extreme.) It also helped that my family was happy living in that community, even though it wasn't the sort of place my parents had expected to be. I'd focus on choosing to live in a place where you and your kids are happy with your work/life balance, and worry about college later.[/quote]
