[quote=Anonymous]I currently live in MOCO, near the Glenmont Metro.  As I'm sure most of you know, this is in the DownCounty Consortium with Wheaton as the base school.  Obviously not our first choice of schools, but we bought before we had kids with the intention of moving before they (when they appeared) entered school.  That time has come, and now my husband seems stuck on wanting to move into Whitman, Churchill, or Wootton.  I'm trying to convince him that Walter Johnson and BCC should also be on our list, and possibly Richard Montgomery as well.  We definitely want out of the DCC, but want to stay as close in as possible (so no to poolesville).  I don't think we can afford the schools he wants, but he seems willing to sacrifice things that we have said are must haves in order to get into Whitman in particular.  For example, both of us have hobbies that are based in the kitchen.  We currently have a galley kitchen and HATE it.  We have both said many times that whenever we move we must have more space in the kitchen.  We live on a busy street (Georgia) and we HATE it.  The noise makes it impossible to sleep with any windows open.  Yet now he is trying to sell me on a house on a busy street with a galley kitchen that is somehow even smaller than what we currently have.  He thinks that the sacrifice is worth it to get into Whitman.  Any advice for how to convince him that these schools are not the only place on earth where our kids can succeed?  Sure, great schools are wonderful, but the tradeoff between having a house that meets our needs is not worth it.[/quote]
