[quote=Anonymous]The farthest we've driven (three schools over the years) is 30 minutes. The daily routine is doable -- you figure it out and it just becomes part of your day -- but the social life of the school revolves around the school's neighborhood and that's hard. Plus, friends can live 30 minutes or more in the other direction, making after school playdates impossible (I have younger kids; I don't know if playdates are applicable to middle schoolers). Our conclusion is that up to 30 minutes is doable if the school offers something really special and unique that can be provided elsewhere; a lightly better fit isn't enough. So, I'll do it for my SN child but not my NT child, who, in the end, will be fine virtually anywhere. 15 minutes is my limit for my NT child. Don't forget to factor in rush hour traffic when figuring out the commute![/quote]
