Really enjoyed reading this. As someone with an elementary-school-aged kid, I'll add that things can change A LOT once they're actually in school. You can move to a great school district and then figure out your kid has a learning disability and needs additional support, or the administration changes and you don't like the direction the school is going in. You almost have to prepare for ALL the scenarios and then hope for the best and try your hardest to be flexible.
Thanks for the sneak peek ☺️ It seems like a theme of parenthood - be prepared for the expected, but also be prepared for the unexpected. Be flexible. You don't know what you don't know until you're living it. It's part of the magic, but also the stress.
I don’t really have one, since I am child-free. But if I were counseling someone making that decision, you’ve provided some good info for people to consider.

Truly!
Taylor, this is an interesting perspective I have not seen discussed elsewhere. You make some great points.
I'd love to hear your perspective!
