[quote=Anonymous]OP, we considered doing this for our DS due to the same childcare issues and ultimately decided against it (even though my MIL's school district is "better").  I went to private school my entire life (lived in the city and the public schools were not very good) and the one thing I always hated about it was that my friends lived all over the place so it wasn't like I had kids on my street who went to school with me.  On the weekends, when I wanted to see my classmates, I would have to have my parents drive me across town.  I wish we lived in a neighborhood where my classmates lived around me and my parents were involved in all of the school activities because it was right in the neighborhood.

My point is, if the school is already 30 minutes from your house, it will be hard for your child, you and your DH to feel a part of the school community.  You already said that you don't have a lot of mommy friends and being involved in the local school is the best way to accomplish that.  Its one of the main reasosn why I live in the suburbs and do not want to send my kids to private school.   [/quote]
