[quote=Anonymous]OP, I sometimes feel the way you do, with our two young kids (6 and 3). And then this holiday weekend, I went back to my (small) hometown and realized that my friends' kids there are academically at least a year behind because their schools (even the private ones) are just not that good. They spend their time watching videos and driving everywhere they go, around their boring little suburbs. "Eating out" means going to Ruby Tuesdays or Chuck-E-Cheese. THE BIG DEAL is the local college football team and even little kids there know little beyond sports, in the way of experiences or entertainment. Much-talked-about vacations are usually trips to Disney World. Yes, some things are harder here. But we've decided that life it the city is ultimately a much richer experience for children.[/quote]
