[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a political post.  Just a possible factor.  Families may be hedging their bets because of the uncertainty surrounding what will happen in the public schools if the Dept of Ed is gone. Will that result in upheaval in the local schools? With guardrails removed, will schools perceived to be slipping slip further (at least in the short term)?  [/quote]

After everything thrown at local schools with the wokery of the last 10 years? Doubt it.

Local schools are much more governed by the state Dept of Edu than any federal one.

[b]However, I do wonder if the tripling of mortgage rates is causing more people to stay put instead of moving for better schools, and thus looking at the private options. It's so expensive to buy and sell these days that if you have one kid it may be more convenient to go private[/b]. [/quote]

I think you have a good point with the bolded. If people bought when first engaged or married they might have figured they would move to a bigger place/better district once their kids are older but now realize it's better to stay and just find a reasonable private. I know more than a few people in this situation. [/quote]
