I had to leave California so my gifted child could get a proper education. Now he's getting it, while I'm paying roughly half in property taxes.

Can you share more details? Where have you moved to? What alternatives did you consider?

    I moved to Forsyth County, GA, where my child has access to excellent computer science and musical education (not to mention AP classes and 3 tiers bases on student achievement). In fact, he didn't make it to the top tier in everything because they were just too strong. This is a good thing!

    In his supposedly "10" California school, music had been defunded to spread equality to other school systems; also, no career emphasis programs or special tracks were available.

    I considered moving to one of the Dallas suburbs, but I like the Southeast weather and setting better.

    Note: I'm "Latino", whatever that means, and my son is mixed (my wife is a snow white American) with a "Latino" last name.
