Unless you can work from home, be careful. Very cheap rent usually means crap jobs. You get what you pay for. Make sure you check out the area and the place itself. Look for water damage, crime %, what stores are around etc.

Not all parents work full time. Some parents like my husband and I were able to work alternate schedules (I know not everyone can do that) and there are a lot of stay at home parents. Kids and parents need down time and a lot look forward to summer breaks (as do teachers, they have lives too). So while this would be nice for some, I think there are a lot more that would disagree.
