[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To PP.  Not to be snarky, but why do you have your kids spread among 2 or 3 schools.  Can you not get them all into the same charter or OOB school.  Seems like you are punishing yourself with the driving.

They were in the same charter where some thrived, some did not.  Do you move everyone, even the thriving students?  Or just the one that for valid reasons about that charter and that student needs a different school?  And the different school is the long drive, so moving the younger students there would just prolong the years for that distance vs leaving them at the charter.

My personal algorithm, but I see many parents go through versions of this.  Do I move the younger student into a new school before the older student graduates, so enrolled when there is sibling preference?   do I drive across town to a Deal feeder starting in 3rd grade, even though the neighborhood school is good for elementary, but not for middle?  do I pull my student from 5th in his elementary because Latin starts at 5th and that's the best /only(?) year to get in?  But what if the new Latin location doesn't work for our family?   etc. etc. etc.  It's like a complex chess game and the students are the pawns.
