So, my son is almost done with middle school, and next year he'll be moving on to high school. We had been hoping he would get into a magnet school in our county. Yesterday was the random lottery that chose who would be enlisted and who would be on the waiting list, and my son didn't make the cut. It was completely random, nothing could be done to influence the outcome.
You may be wondering how this is a matter for this blog, well the reason is because it might actually affect my choice of housing. For one, it means that I have the choice to stay in the same school district and have my son go to school with kids he already knows. Doing so will limit the choices of houses and neighborhoods available.
Of course, I haven't talked to my son yet about this aspect of it, but he may not care if he stays with the students he's been at school with for the past 3 years. If that's the case, I could choose any other area, even outside the county like I was originally considering.
Obviously, the choice of where we move affects not only me, so I will have to consult with him before we actually start looking at houses.
