[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You “roll with it” no matter where you live. It’s just that in some areas, more things will roll the way you like it than in other areas. It’s up to you to figure out which area fits you best. If you are wanting to send your kid to an elementary in NW, my guess is that you probably should be living there in the first place.[/quote]

This.  Some areas there is much more certainty and guarantee for a good school feed.  Also, frankly it’s a pain in the ass to take your kid to far extracurriculars because no really good offerings or demand far exceeds supply and you can’t get what you want.

Everyone has to roll with it but life is just much easier in some places than others.  And it’s a pain in the neck applying to privates or playing the lottery for middle and high school.  It’s not just simply ranking schools in the lottery, you need plan A, B, and C.  The private school application is a whole other bear from parents who went thru it.

I won’t even touch on the supplementing which is another huge bear.

It’s not as easy or simple as the Swarthmore PP makes it seem.  It’s a lot of time, energy, resources, and money.  [/quote]
