Literally turned down a job/relocation to Baltimore area because best proximity to the office meant my kids would likely have to be part of the Baltimore city school district and folks I knew from the area warned me about it’s challenges.
I could have moved outward and away into more rural Maryland, but then that would create a 90+ minute commute each way.
Sure. And this situation, repeated tens of thousands of times a year, is why the Baltimore city schools are so problematic. I'm not high-horsing you; I did the same thing with my kids. It was an amoral thing to do, but I did it anyways.
