I'd worry more about the education system here than them failing in love with it.. cause it's pretty subpar. We opted homeschooling.. also their views on things (as a Yankee) may not be as welcomed as you may hope here. As I'm finding out myself. A lot of conservative Jesus freaks. I had several friends showing pics of teachers/ students praying around the school flag on the first day of school. Imo not cool at all.
My son attended a charter school in K. They had a group that used to get together one morning a week and pray around the flag. I also have a to each his own attitude about it though (and I'm a Yankee!)
A lot of public schools in UC have a See you at the flagpole prayer meeting the first week of school. It is not held by the school but by parents, before school hours. It is a nice way to start the school year.

Maybe the school YOU chose to be assigned to is "subpar" and maybe the neighborhood YOU chose has "Jesus freaks". You need to be careful taking your personal bias and translating it to the whole metro.
There are plenty of areas with excellent schools and "Yankee acceptance" to choose from... just sounds like you didn't do your homework before moving.
Agree with you. I would like to know which cities have great schools and Yankees acceptance ?

A lot depends on job location. There are places all around the area that fit that description. Say you have a job in Monroe, you don't want to live in Huntersville or Gastonia. The drive would be horrendous.
I will be working in charlotte. I'm ok with communiting 45 min or less.
