[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She needs to have a real good reason NOT to work in Montgomery County Public Schools/near Bethesda. She should have at least tried.. [/quote]

I agree. I'm a teacher in Arlington and I know Montgomery schools have major issues but so does APS. I have no idea what could possibly be so special about Kenmore that would justify a substantial commute not just for one spouse but for two. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  One spouse has a job in Arlington and the other has a job near Bethesda and OP is trying to figure out a reasonable compromise on where to live.  The Kenmore wife isn't complicating this for the husband - they have complicated things for one another by having jobs in different states.  Not sure why you're blaming this on one spouse sheesh everybody calm down please.  (Also, Kenmore is pretty good school and the facilities are nice.)[/quote]

We’re assuming that the Bethesda job is somewhat unique and that the spouse who works in education could just as easily find a job in Montgomery County.  It’s not a dig on Kenmore, just a statement that there are also middle schools in MD that would make their living and commuting arrangements much easier. OP and their partner are from out of town and don’t realize how terrible the cross river commute can be.[/quote]
