[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The west side is a walk in the park compared to many sections of the east side.  I know kids who go to Whitman, Churchill, and even Wootton who have never seen a fight at their schools.[/quote]

Look, sure there are issues over here on the east side that the west side doesn't have.  But this attitude isn't helpful and it's really an exaggeration.  We live in Silver Spring in a nice house in a nice neighborhood, our kids go to Silver Spring schools and are getting a great education and have nice friends and have never been in or witnessed an altercation.  They know kids who come from all sorts of backgrounds and they have seen some objectionable behavior, but this is life, right?  They are comfortable in many situations and with many different types of people.

I am constantly surprised by this attitude though.  Really, there are lots of us over here who make $200K+ and wouldn't move for the world.  Maybe you don't have the tolerance for a more economically diverse area and that's fine -- your choice.  But why perpetuate an exaggerated stereotype?[/quote]
