[quote=Anonymous]Bought a place in a great, convenient neighborhood with a bad IB school a very long time ago.  Never, ever thought we'd be here when kids were school aged.  Planned to move out of the area many years ago.  That hasn't worked out, but not for lack of trying.  Also never thought we'd have a child with a chronic health condition.  So here we are, a child, one income, in the same place, not able to have the two incomes we'd need to buy into a better school district, and pretty lucky the lottery worked out for us.  We'll stay here as long as we're in the area.

Takeaway - sometimes there are private issues at play not up for public discussion outside close family and a few friends.  Give people the benefit of the doubt.  Yes, there are people who take chances knowing it will be an issue.  But there may be more people than you realize who do not have all the choices you might assume they do.  I don't know what the bottom line is with your friend, but it's something to consider as you wonder about other families you encounter. [/quote]
