An Education Or a Tank of Gas

Got word from the Charter school in the mail today concerning Al's interview. He did not get accepted for next Fall. I haven't told him yet. Now my only option at this point is to move into a better district, but a worse neighborhood. I have to think long term. What is going to be more important to Al's future? It's a catch-22. If I move into a better district, the housing I'll be able to afford will be in a crappy neighborhood, but if I can keep him in the house most of the time like I used to where we lived previously he'll be away from the gang shit. If we stay here he can play and ride his bike, but hes not getting an education worth a damn. I've considered homeschooling, but he needs social interaction too much, and the only extracurricular home school activities are so fundamental you'd think jesus taught laguage arts. If that works for them, fine. I don't believe in that so it doesn't work for me. Would you expect a Muslim mother to send her Muslim Babies to a synagogue if she didn't have to? No. She doesn't believe the same things. Where am I GOING?
I AM ANGRY HE DIDNT GET ACCEPTED DAMNIT! I'm angry that a decent education in this country is contingent on money. I'm angry that my very bright child can't have the same opportunities as coder dads kid. I'm angry and I want to go do something about it, but I can't afford the gas to get there!
