But check it out. My HS recently won an award for excellence, and it's considered "rural." Its district is the area's largest in terms of, well "area" and averages 100 kids a class. It was a very good school, and still is. In fact, my brother and his wife will be staying where they are so the kids will attend it.

It's a little old-fashioned compared to the "city" schools, but for some reason they have attracted great teachers and great programs.

Flint, I love the idea of you buying some land and living in a trailer or something while you build. I know a lot of people who have done it that way, and the rewards are immense.

Yeah dude, live in the country! [/Ellie May]
