Best Places to Raise Kids?
tokenadult: Anywhere with a fuss-free homeschooling statute.As the children grow older, it's a good idea to look for a place with strong advanced curricula for secondary school students, such as UMTYMPhttp://www.math.umn.edu/itcep/umtymp/and PSEOhttp://www.ohe.state.mn.us/mPg.cfm?pageID=797in Minnesota, the PSEO clones Running Starthttp://www.k12.wa.us/runningstart/default.aspxin Washington State, Youth Optionshttp://dpi.wi.gov/youthoptions/youthop1.htmlin Wisconsin, or other similarly named programs in a few other states. Especially cool is to have an explicit high school for the gifted such as Montgomery Blairhttp://www.mbhs.edu/in Maryland or Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technologyhttp://www.tjhsst.edu/in Virginia or one of the several state "governor's schools" for highly gifted learners. Some families move to Reno, Nevada for the Davidson Academy of Nevadahttp://www.davidsonacademy.unr.edu/but so far I haven't tried it.
