[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality of education is my top (not my only) priority, and we live in the city.  The charter school that my child attends is a perfect fit for our family.  It is not a  perfect school, nor should it be viewed as a complete educational solution.  But it is just right for us.  And I don't view school as the sole factor in a good education.  In fact, it is one of the least important, in my opinion.  School is just a very small part.

By living in the city, we are able to capitalize in many other aspects of education.  First, I have more time with my child, and she learns a lot through being with me.  Second, she is exposed to a diversity of people, from extraordinarily educated young people who view her as a their outlet for teaching to homeless people who she sees on a daily basis and through whom she learns about the complexities of life.  Third, we have fast access to museums, which we still visit with regularity.  Fourth, by staying in a small, central location, we are able to travel a great deal, exposing her to geography, science, language, culture and so much more.  For us, living in DC is a very important part of achieving our educational goals.[/quote]
