[quote=Anonymous][quote=Transplant_1]OP here.  I'd appreciate serious conversations on this thread.

Thank you 9:13 for your thoughts.  Yes, am posting to try to break though the assumptions.  So I appreciate your thoughts.

Do you -- or others -- have a sense of BCC and Whitman?  They are the two wealthier areas (at least based on home prices. I know BCC has an area in its zone that is not, but kids life in sub-cultures/sub-groups so still trying to figure out what the experience would be like for us.) [/quote]

DP. I am not really sure what you're getting at, but I live a block from BCC and pass it on my morning commute and I can assure you that most kids do not arrive in a flashy car. Lots take the bus, many take the county bus (a regular, non-school bus) from the Silver Spring area. Many also walk.

As a PP said, most kids who live in the most expensive area (Edgemoor) go to private schools, and some parts of that neighborhood many not even be zoned for BCC anyway. I'm not sure of that but as you get further and further in, you're far close to Whitman than BCC.

There are a lot of kids at BCC who live in the various apartments of Bethesda, many of which are pretty low-rent looking to be honest; and many who live in apartments or houses in Silver Spring.

You can find a wealthy, materialist culture at any school. You can also find counter-cultures at every school. BCC is absolutely enormous and there will be enough of every kind of culture for your kids to join. It is really up to your kids what they find attractive.[/quote]
