[quote=Anonymous]It’s insane to uproot a family because of this one factor, but it’s absolutely true that academic achievement is a more entrenched priority in Boston than DC—even if dcum would make you think otherwise. DC has a lot of very successful people who attended southern flagships, UVA, etc., plus west coasters who didn’t grow up with a lifelong college prestige obsession (even if they have one now). I know many local wealthy families who would *prefer* their children attend, say, stone ridge, than NCS. Their sense of prestige is broader and more relaxed than in the NE where it’s still Harvard as the ultimate prize. [/quote]
