[quote=Anonymous]We live about 10 miles from our child's high school but that involves the Beltway and taking the American Legion Bridge. While the distance is a pain for obvious reasons - for us it has been worth it because the quality and benefits of the education she's receiving outweigh the hassle. It gets much easier when your child starts to drive (if they/you are comfortable with the commute). Her day isn't quite as long because she can drive home rather than waiting for the bus. She drives herself to her friends' homes, social activities, etc. so we're not having the shuttle her around as much on the weekends, etc. Her friends are willing to drive to our home on the weekend so there is a little bit more back/forth rather than her always having to go to where the majority of her friends live (near the school). We've made it work and I don't regret sending her to school further away. You just have to grin and bear it and get through it and hopefully where your child is going to school and the academics make it worth the added hassle. [/quote]
