[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]schools.  we moved a bit farther out and spent a little more $ for the schools.  yes, what matters is the home environment, but education is a package.  generally, you need decent schools in conjunction with active parenting.[/quote]

The problem with this statement is, that all schools are probably decent. The variable is the student population. If you magically switched the student population of the worst performing middle school with that of the best, do you think their test scores and other performance metrics would stay they same. No. 
And it's not just deciding between a "pretty house" and good schools. There are lots of things that go into the perfect house. Square footage, yard space, commute, etc. 
For all these people that move far away from your jobs to get your kid in the best school: What do you think really will improve their intellectual development, the school with high test scores or having their parents at home for the extra 2 hours per day that they would have otherwise been commuting?

I say go for the house.  [/quote]
