[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The really good schools draw from all over the city.  This has been how we've been able to carpool: enough families nearby to share the load.

At the end of the day, quality of education was not something we could compromise.[/quote]

I agree, but there was simply no way to make the logistics work for us.  We both worked and our HRCS was 25 min out of the way, each way if everything went right.  My husband and I were each having issues at work and, even with that, we felt our only family time was commuting.  By the time we got home, we could barely manage to do dinner, bath/shower, and bed.  Rinse and repeat daily.  It was no way to live as a family and at some point we were going to have issues with being late at work even though we have somewhat flexible jobs that aren't generally going to freak if we are a few minutes late.

To get the quality education, we moved to Moco.  I thought when we placed into a charter we were happy with that would be it, but the logistics were just too daunting.  I am actually happier with the move than I expected, but of course there are things I miss.[/quote]
