[quote=Anonymous]Like others have said, I think that it really depends on the details of your current school system. My spouse and I both grew up in families where money was tight, and started out in less-than-stellar public school districts. My parents decided to stay put, and my in-laws decided to move - and in retrospect, I think that both families made the right decisions. My school was good enough - I was safe and supported, with enough opportunities to learn and a good cohort of friends who also intended to go to college. My spouse's school (and overall community) was much tougher - academically inclined kids were made fun of and my spouse didn't fit in, at all. Had they stayed, it probably would have gotten much worse My spouse and I both ended up with graduate degrees, successful careers, and a lifelong love of learning. [/quote]
