[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, We lived in a tiny one-bedroom with our 2 young kids while we saved and looked for a house in a good school district. DH would only buy food on sale. All our money went to a crappy daycare, and then to a good preschool. The point is you have to make a sacrifice somewhere. We are telling you that you can: 1. Break your lease. Try to get out of paying the fine by finding a new renter yourself and negotiating with the leasing office in person. 2. Rent smaller/cheaper in a neighborhood where you feel good about the school. FYI, public school teachers will always be over-extended because the DC area is exploding demographically. 3. Send your child to that public school paid for with your tax dollars. Enrich at home, especially written expression, which is overlooked in the classroom. Bide your time and if your child makes the cut she can get into a Highly Gifted Center in 4th and 5th grade, and a Magnet for Middle School. Learn to work the system. [/quote]
