ZF; yes, you have definitely helped! Thank you.

Thank you everyone for your experiences! In general, it is definitely a more positive move! I have just spoken with DD's school about if there is a radius cut-off for attending that school, which there is, but the place we are looking at is still within that zone. Even though it is closer to another major town than Tree Town. We were really worried that the kids would have to change schools, and we didn't want that. The Boy finally LOVES going to school, instead of trying not to go, and avoiding fights and being bullied everyday (not that he's shy of throwing a punch, he just knows the consequences if he finished something).

Anyone else live or lived rural?
