One more good reason to read HN: High quality personal posts! Can you share (without doxxing yourself), where do/did you live (during high school)?

Grew up/Went to high school there. Which is why this post resonated. I know exactly what this means and what difference it can make. I'm in the US now.

Not GP, but my wife and I looked at the charter schools in Arizona at one point early in her youth. We didn't ultimately go that route (or any private route), but their stated costs were well beyond this, even with scholarship help.
