Does anyone send their kids to a low rated elementary school? Is it really that bad?

Additional context, looking at buying a new house that is zoned for a school rated a 3. They are building a new elementary school that is zoned for the new neighborhood. So would be sending my kindergartener to the other school for a year... doesn’t seem like that big of a deal for a year? Don’t like the idea of doing private school for a year (~$20k for a year).

FYI, check out the middle school. It’s harder to find a good middle school in areas with good and bad elementary schools and a bad middle school can change a kid

I feel like it’s easier to find a good elementary than middle and high, but if it’s guaranteed just for a year seems like it could work.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Hello! I need some (creative) suggestions on how to do a video interview. I live in a very small 1br apartment with my husband occupying the bedroom for work during the day and a 2 yr old occupying the living area. I thought of the kitchen but it’s proximity to a busy road makes it a little too noisy to have a good call. The bathroom perhaps? Will that create an echo? I am thinking of using a backdrop so that the mess will be covered up. It will be a 30-min interview.
