Most people acclimate to the society around them; they strive to be in the lead group.

So, if you are in school among lots of financially well-off friends in advanced classes, then you are all ... wait for it ... AVERAGE in your school. It's a basic expectation and so not remarkable.

It would be EXCEPTIONAL to be the only kid going for Harvard at Wheaton -- at Churchill, it's AVERAGE.

Oh please. Churchill sends what - 2 kids to Harvard a year?

Wheaton send what 3 kids to any college? And all 3 of them then get crazy student loan debt for an an otherwise unremarkable degree and have to take a crap job to start paying it off. Then after a couple of months on fries they hit assistant manager and that is when the big bucks start rolling in.

Funny, we have enough saved for college and graduate school. Do you?

No I already graduated, that is how I could afford not to live there

We can afford to move. We choose not to as we want the programs the schools have to offer. Do you have enough saved for college for your kids or did you buy an overpriced house and count on them getting financial aid as you are too cheap to pay for their college and graduate schools.

Just because I work with you and interact with you and possibly pay more state and federal taxes than you, doesn't mean I want to live near you. In fact, it's just the opposite. That is why, for the sake of my commute, I live in Kensington zoned OTES. 16th St to downtown is usually a breeze! Once Beach is open again it will be even better.

Save money and have better neighbors. Who says you can't have it all? Bonus - my kids aren't complete jerks.

School resources get spread too thin in schools with large % of failing students.

Well, you are obviously a jerk based on your post, so can you tell us how you made sure your kids didn't pick up on your attitudes and behavior?
