[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if there's something else going on? Maybe she wants to move for some other reason, or she always just assumed you'd move once kid(s) are older, or she has political reservations about charters vs. public schools? [/quote] OP again. She wants to move due to lack of space (in the house and the fact that there's no green space around). We've discussed this thoroughly and I agree the kids need more green space and our rowhouse has been outgrown. So, that's not the issue. There's several neighborhoods we agree upon with SFH's inside the district. They're less urban and more tree-lined, so that'll make things okay. She will say why stay in the district if we're going to move anyway with the school being so awful. This is where I get pissed off because I busted my @$$ to get DS into the kick butt charter. So, IMO schools is not the issue. As far as political issues, she doesn't know about any school situation here, charter or public. DC is a harbinger with respect to charters nationwide. She understands that much. But, she seems to be caught up in the whole "school sucks" in DC bandwagon and won't look any deeper. That's all she talks about. I've done the deeper digging, so I "get it" about the charters here. She hasn't/won't. I'm at wits end.[/quote]
