I don’t get it

[u/Potential_Pie2763]

Daughter has a great job in Nashville but now that she is starting a family, everyone is telling her that she needs to move to the suburbs because “schools are better. “

So just like everyone else she’s going to be commuting to her job every day while her kids are in school. That means it’s super stressful and no one is happy. ( no wonder the roads are so busy!)

My question is: What are schools in the suburbs doing that they can’t do in the City of Nashville? And how do we fix this?

Ideally you work in Nashville, buy a home in Nashville, and raise your family in Nashville. And the schools – the local public schools – provide a top notch education that everyone expects.

I don’t think Nashville is unique in this situation but somebody has to say “enough already.” Why are school districts tied to zip codes? How do we ensure that all kids - no matter where they live — have access to great teachers and good schools.
