[quote=Anonymous]Really depends on how bad the schools are. School is a place you're sending your kids for ~8 hours every day, 50% of their waking lives Monday thru Friday.

Will they be safe? Will they be physically and/or emotionally bullied?

Will they be happy and challenged and learn to love learning? Or will school be drudgery of busywork and "screentime" babysitting? Will caring teachers have time to invest in your children's academic growth or will they be spending half of their time dealing with disruptive students or overwhelmed with foreign students who don't speak English?

What social circle are you creating for your children -- what type of kids will they be hanging out with and influenced by?

And in the end, how much is all of the above worth to you?

Only you can answer those questions based on the particulars of your situation.

Personally, we've always taken the view that we'll accept a smaller house and lower overall standard of living to provide the best education for our children. YMMV.[/quote]
