[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gamble your child's future in preference of your own commuting comfort. [/quote] Slogging in from the great schools out in McLean or Vienna means hours away from your kids. [b]Comme ci, comme ça.[/b][/quote] Huh? Like this, like that? How are the two things mentioned here similar?[/quote] Even if Mclean/Vienna schools are similar, parental involvement is a big predictor of school success. So you trading down the time you have with your kids (less parental involvement) with a longer commute for (what you perceive as) better schools. [/quote] Because I'm sure the Arlington parents who have the extra time at home spend every last minute of it with their kids, at least until the parents get on their Facebook pages or the kids tell the parents to go away. Seriously, the sweet spot is finding a place where you can spend time with your kids, not monopolizing their time with helicopter parenting. [/quote]
