[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really puzzled: I thought that the main reason why people choose to take on a long commute from the suburbs is so that the kids can attend good public schools. If you send your child to a private school in DC, why do you live in the suburbs?

Thanks.[/quote]

First, it's private school.  As long as you are willing to pay (and commute) it's none of anyone's business where you choose to live.  DC does not own the rights to privates b/c they are in DC for heavens sake.

Ok, I'm done with that.

It's very possible that people enjoy the suburbian lifestyle but want a specific type of education for their children.  My own brother when to a big 3 and we lived in Rockville.  I remember he looked at several with my parents and felt most comfortable at one specific.  He was failing public miserably.  He was bored out of his mind and decided not to do any work.  He was finally challenged where he ended up and loved school after that point.  I remember my father dropping him off at school on his way to work.  Eventually my brother got a car (think yugo type) and would drive himself to school).[/quote]
