[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again, thanks all, this is reassuring. Still not sure if [b]we'll have the patience to stick it out[/b] indefinitely, but it's heartening to read these reassurances. Though with DCI not being guaranteed anymore, the prospect of playing until first or second, then starting all over again in fifth or sixth is REALLY unappealing. One thing if you get into your DCI feeder in PK then have 6-7 years before thinking of the lottery again, another if you are playing the lottery more years than not...[/quote]

I think it's hard to predict what your kid will need and I think it's hard to predict what other stressful things will come up in your life so if you're already wondering about patience to stick it out, I would make the decision that takes the least amount of patience and mental wherewithal.  Build up your reserves now so you'll be able to handle things you can't 'protect' against with more emotional/mental reserves.  Education in DC only gets more stressful, not less so as you get to MS and HS (I have one in each and it's not been an easy road let alone other things that come up in life; if I could do it again, I'd go the easier route of an established suburban school to remove a source of stress/uncertainty. And I would have said this even before coronavirus)
