How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

Why would you assume that a good education can only be had through public schools in high taxed areas?

I've personally had the opposite hold true. I pulled my kids from the highest property tax district and put them into a charter where the teachers aren't making much - and my kids are faring well.

Now take into account that I do live in hard-hit Michigan, so it may be true that some of our better public school districts barely hold a candle to the mediocre in more affluent areas.

I wonder what sort of compromise you would find acceptable? Dual WOHPs to afford such a school district?

Stayed the same in that it is still a place that you don't have to think twice about sending your child there and that they are educating the children in the most up to date ways.

It also depends on the kid a lot, IME. Those highly rated districts with the huge taxes and huge house prices may overall be wonderful and still end up not being good for a particular kid/family. In our area many of the very highly rated districts had no GT programs, for example, on the grounds that the level was so high and the classes so small that the needs of these kids could easily be met on an individual basis. In practice this rarely panned out, so many GT families eventually opted into "lesser" districts that had better accommodation of GT kids and also often had bigger HSs with a better selection of specialized and high-level courses.

I'm sorry, I don't know what CLW means?
