[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality of education is my top (not my only) priority, and we live in the city.  The charter school that my child attends is a perfect fit for our family.  It is not a  perfect school, nor should it be viewed as a complete educational solution.  But it is just right for us.  And I don't view school as the sole factor in a good education.  In fact, it is one of the least important, in my opinion.  School is just a very small part.

By living in the city, we are able to capitalize in many other aspects of education.  First, I have more time with my child, and she learns a lot through being with me.  Second, she is exposed to a diversity of people, from extraordinarily educated young people who view her as a their outlet for teaching to homeless people who she sees on a daily basis and through whom she learns about the complexities of life.  Third, we have fast access to museums, which we still visit with regularity.  Fourth, by staying in a small, central location, we are able to travel a great deal, exposing her to geography, science, language, culture and so much more.  For us, living in DC is a very important part of achieving our educational goals.[/quote]

100% agree with this.   For us the benefit of living in "dc" is [i]living[/i] in DC.  We are in a charter we are very happy with that goes through middle school. If that stopped working for us we would consider moving out of the area, closer to family, instead of the burbs.  [/quote]
