[quote=Anonymous][quote=Transplant_1][quote=Anonymous]Our kids graduated from WJ and we did none of those things. A lot of stereotyping in your post, OP.  Our kids  played sports, did a lot of SSL hours and had part-time jobs. They drove a used car (ours, not theirs).[/quote]

Thank you.  Actually, of all the BCC/W schools, WJ is one of the ones that -- to me at least (based on nothing more than general sense of home prices and demographics and observations)  -- seemed to have less of the issues around "feeling out of place because of wealth / padding of resume with purchased experience."  Since we're on DCUMs, the HSs that I worried had it the most -- again, at least to me -- were BCC and Whitman. Yet these are the ones that for various commuting reasons, would be easiest to me (I'd have to rent, not buy.) [/quote]

I don't know why you concluded that. BCC is the same socio-economically as WJ. Even though real estate is significantly more expensive near downtown Bethesda, the ones living in the $3-5M Edgemoor estates aren't sending their kids to public, if you see what I mean. So the population sending their kids to BCC probably has the same range of income as the ones sending their kids to WJ. I know families with regular jobs like ours who stretch to buy into the BCC cluster, or Whitman or Churchill, for the reputation of those schools, so please believe me - we're not all wealthy!
