[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the issue is whether I want to have a cheaper mortgage, more space and pay private school tuition.

I have decided that I can live without as much space, increase my mortgage and move to a neighborhood with good public schools.

When you do a cost-benefit analysis, you really don't come out ahead by living in an area with unacceptable public schools. Private school tuition has gone up so much in recent years, that it doesn't make sense to have a cheaper mortgage and still pay $1,500 or more per month in tuition.[/quote]

No one is asking you this question.  They're asking for PG school options.  You don't know their situation.

For some people, it's not a decision between space, mortgage and school, but other factors, like where they work, come into play.   MOCO and NOVA were not options for me because of where I work as well as where my spouse works.  There is no way we would have someone who could be home by 6pm to pick up a child from daycare or aftercare if we lived in either of those places.

Sometimes it isn't just about money, but logistics as well.  It's fine you made the decision you made, but this thread isn't about choosing between PG and some other place.  It's asking for school options in PG county.  You don't know enough about the situations of other people to decide whether they "come out ahead."

I'm sick and tired of the way people treat people who live in PG county.  Someone comes on here asking for information -- school options in PG.  And people think it's an opportunity to basically respond by saying "PG sucks, you shouldn't live there."

It's fine if you don't like PG or wouldn't live there.  Then don't participate in the thread.  [/quote]
