Hey guys,
We are in a bit of a tough decision. Looking for advice and direction.
We currently live out in the middle of nowhere and LOVE it!! The problem is this...
My wife works 40 hours and I work upwards of 60-80 hours some weeks. We have 2 children that go to a babysitter 2 blocks from my wifes work. The lady who watches the kids gives us the best rate around and is really good with the kids and we know she can be trusted with them. If they went to this school the bus would drop them off at babysitter house.
Anyway the oldest will soon be ready for kindergarten. We are gone so much of the time and would not have a chance of being home in the afternoon if kids went to school in the district that we live in. Both of us have very iregular schedules. The cutoff for wifes work district is less than 2 miles over from our house. I have called the other school and they want over 7K per year per kid for out of district tuition. Is there any way for us to send kids there without paying these fees?? We dont have the money to send them at that rate. Our original plan was to build a house in that district but with the economy--we cant do it. What happens if nobody is home when bus tries to drop them off?? Can they really just leave a 5 year old girl in the middle of nowhere by themselves?? We REALLY dont know what to do... Looking for suggestions
