Partially genuine, partially being sarcastic, and definitely not to cause drama.

I am genuinely curious about if my impression is right that some families in this area seems to consider themselves (or in the name of their kids) "superior" to other.

I am being sarcastic that I don't think the kids are that different. The parents, on the other hand, have their own thoughts such as house values, but only claim to think for the benefits of their children.

I totally agree that kids need friends. But here is a question: how many of those families would refuse a better job offer, say higher salary, more growth opportunity, better weather, etc. that requires relocation to a new place with similarly reputable schools?

In the current round of school boundary discussion, I noticed that some Churchill families don't want to be mixed with Wootton, while some Wootton families don't want to be mixed with Gaithersburg or Quince Orchid. To me, some options seem totally sensible from the map and the numbers, but they got strong opposition from the community. Some families would rather travel more time to get to Churchill over Wootton, or to get to Wootton over Crown or Gaithersburg or QC. Did I get a wrong impression?

I know the housing price is very different in those areas. But, are the students' body and teaching outcome that different in those schools?

Assuming this is a genuine question and not just an attempt to cause more drama, it’s not about not wanting to be with the other schools/kids. It’s about wanting to stay with long established friends and communities. [/quote][/quote]

Very few families will come out and openly say it's about FARMs rate, house values etc. It's far better to say friends and communities. [/quote]
