I’m probably going to dox myself here.
A month or so ago, the school my daughter (14, freshman) goes to, made the decision to move the school to the town over (because that school building is old). The decision was (is) pretty controversial. The problem is, where we live, instead of going to the new location, she will most likely have to go to a different school. And according to her, most of her friends are going to the new location. Even though the move won’t take place until shes a junior, she’s saying when it happeens she wants to go to the new school, which would be an almost 20 minute drive from our house.
I rejected the idea, because I think driving to and fro everyday will become a lot. My wife and I have flexible work schedules (Business owners) but I still feel it’s a bit much. They’re kids in our neighborhood fhat will probably also be going, who she can get acquainted with. Where I feel I (and my wife, and my daughter) may be wrong I moved cities when I was a kid the summer before high school, and I didn’t make a lot of friends because of that. Obviously I had my school acquaintances but I didn’t have any super close friends. But since my daughter found out she’s been pretty upset over my current standing.
WIBTA?
