[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will give it to you straight, because it sounds like you really need it. These are champagne problems. There are many, many, shitty things in life that happen to people (I won’t give you different scenarios because I’m sure you can think of some on your own). This is not a real problem in the grand scheme of life. Be grateful you have options, be grateful you can send your kids are safe, be grateful you have access to good education. I don’t know what else to tell you, but if this is what you get anxious about, you have a VERY long road of turmoil ahead of you.

I appreciate this, seriously — minus the last sentence — but I get it. If this were me I wouldn’t mind. It just feels like I’m experimenting w my kids because I’ll end up moving them twice if they’re unhappy. [/quote]

You might pick the really really best school today. Then in 4 months kid is unhappy because other school has something they prefer...then they don't like that one...
This is really an endless cycle. [/quote]

I think it is also important to be realistic that it is the PARENTS picking the schools. The kids, by and large are kids who will likely love the school one day and hate it the next for no discernible reason. The parents become unahppy with a school, or hear that another school has something they prefer, and then they don't like the current school and enter the lottery.

The kids are not driving these decisions until high school. [/quote]
