[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I fantasize about doing this too although I'm generally happy here. The thing that stops me is that my oldest is very quirky. I guess I feel like people in suburbs value being "normal" or something, and people in small towns are less tolerant of differences. I know I could be wrong, but I have this fear of dropping my quirky kid into a school with mini frat boys, and it not going well at all.[/quote] We moved in June when the kids were 14 ninth grade and 8 in the third grade. My last one wasn’t born yet. We didn’t move far but they still had to make new friends. My son is awkward and anxious and doesn’t start up conversations. This was a suburb with a mix of middle class and wealthy. Friends weren’t made based on money. The football team and other teams went unnoticed so no worries there. It’s a very liberal suburb with drug problems but schools are always ranked high. [/quote]
