Plus we're at the school that best suits us as a family and our child as a learner and as a person.
That's priceless. "
Do people who commute this long stay in the area of the school, or drive there and back twice a day? I am not sure I could do the latter, but I am not sure what to do (besides look for a job in the area?) hanging out so far from home for that many hours.
I used to drive 35-40 minutes to take my kids to school each day. AFter we changed schools, they said they missed having a lot of time to talk to me.
Their school was near my workplace, so I dropped them at school and then picked them up from aftercare on the way home.
