Re: should we change high schools?
One of my boys regularly travels 20km each way to school every day. He's in year 1, My four older boys travel 80km each way to school everyday. They seem to cope ok with the travel, 3 are teenagers. The younger of the four is 9 and he is very tired by Friday.
The youngest who is 7 goes to the different school (20km away) and he says he is upset sometimes that he would like to go to he other school, but he also likes being a bit independant from the older brothers.
2 schools though means co-ordinating events that coincide. Also parent teacher interviews, canteen duty, sports and other carnivals plus celebrations. Sometimes have to forgo one to do another.
So remembere if you have kids in 2 different schools it can be hectic and time consuming keeping up with parent involved school activities.
