My husband and I are currently trying to decide the best place to raise our (now 2 year old) child. The choices are Sydney or somewhere in the US. We are temporarily living in Auckland NZ. I am American/my husband is Aussie. I don't know much about the school system in Australia but all my husbands friends seem to think private is the way to go. We have friends in both places but fear if we move to where my friends are in the US, we might have to go elsewhere for a job and end up away from our friends anyway. Any feedback would be helpful.
