[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in a Dufief zone neighborhood in 1980-1981.

It was kind of a suburban nowheresville.

Robert Frost was a mean and snobby place for a chill girl from the West Coast.  I sometimes find current parents on DCUM whose kids got the same vibe there recently.

I don't think it would be bad if the middle and high school were remixed to make them more socieconomically diverse.  There's more to life than bragging about your proximity to Potomac.  That was the big deal when I lived there.  Westleigh was just called Gaithersburg then.  Now I understand it is North Potomac.

If youre so chill why not move to Hyattsville? Some of us work hard for the rewards of hard work, including not living next to shootings and drug deals.[/quote]

I'm long gone from MoCo.  I live somewhere like old Bethesda used to be in another state.  I did spend 8 years as an adult living in MoCo and working in DC but I moved away in part so I wouldn't have to go broke affording a house and raising kids in the Bethesda area. My HHI's only 90th percentile for the entire freaking US, so I was too DCUM poor to raise kids in the suburbs closer in to DC.

I'm not kidding about how nasty Robert Frost was.  I got punched in the face during outdoor gym class by a white girl I'd never previously spoken to (I am also a white girl.) She and her friends decided to pick on me, and when they wouldn't leave me alone, I called her a rude name and she punched me straight in the jaw.  One of the friends was rich...later heard that girl got sent to Catholic school to straighten out her act.  Didn't know about the girl who hit me.  They got suspended.  Fortunately my family was moving within a few weeks since my dad did not like his MoCo job and decided to relocate away.  I still follow the news because it was one of the crappier times in my life and I'm interested to know if it's getting better or worse.

Dufief was a nice walkable school for my sister.  But we both were happier in our new district in Pennsylvania.  [/quote]
