Another thing to consider for someone I assume not from the us: the states, especially Florida, are very big. Moving states means moving very far away. Florida is also deep in the south so moving to a different political climate is an even farther move. Driving from Orlando to Washington DC is a 12 hour trip each way.

You aren’t going to be able to visit family and friends after you move if you are poor.

I know the article isn’t long enough to do this, but I wish the author included more of a guide or examples of what should be done. More description of how those alternative schools function would be interesting.
