[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have made some nice friends here -- for example one was through my DD preschool and the other through work -- but neither of them live nearby!

My work friend lives in Silver Spring, and says it is much more laid back etc.[b] But the truth is I worry about the schools too much.[/b]

I do feel sad that the neighborhood will not produce life-long friendship and a sense of community. Maybe this just does not happen anymore and it is so last century. Or maybe you have to live in a small town to have that.

I also have a good friend in Gaithersburg who loves it there, but that is way too far of a commute.

There is a lot of money here that makes me nervous. I know from reading DCUM I will get flamed for that but it's true. Uggs for kindergartners, iPhones for 6th graders etc. We don't make that kind of money and never will. We put it all into the house and savings. But even if we did have it, we wouldn't spend it like that.

People always say hello in my neighborhood , but it rarely goes beyond that.[/quote]

What do you know about the Silver Spring schools that makes you worry?

We moved out of Bethesda to Silver Spring for all these reasons and have never looked back.  We love it here and have lots of good friends through school, our neighborhood, and church - and our kids are thriving in the schools.
