Schooling followup

In a brief conversation tonight I mentioned that a family I knew was planning to move to an area that might be considered marginal. The price of houses is more affordable there, so they are looking to move. A former resident of the town said, "They better look into alternative schooling." I guess the schools are substandard and she suggested looking into a charter school rather than consider attending the public school.

Living in an affluent place where the public schools are pretty good it is easy to delude yourself that everyone has access to decent schools.
