[quote=Anonymous]You can be part of the school, make it sort of your added living space and also participate actively in your child's classroom, while also shaping and supporting its rise by being involved. If you commute across town, those opportunities will diminish or even disappear, also the opportunities to make adult friends and rely on them for occasional late pick-ups or exchanging play dates, not to mention sharing time looking after the kids on those numerous days off. Could be different for middle school, when you won't be doing the commuting; but for elementary school, I can't imagine almost any scenario where a far-away school would top the one next door, absent maybe some super-specialized offering that is very important to your family (such as language, a particular learning method, or special eduction needs).[/quote]
