[quote=Anonymous]DW has an attitude that is out-of-touch with many of DC's young families.  I've lived in DC for 20 years, our child arrived in 2008 and just finished year 1 at an up and coming DCPS.

We've always lived in transition parts of town...Dupont, then Adams Morgan, U Street and now CH.

I've seen the evolution of people go from 
1997:"Let's get married and move to the suburbs and make babies."
2002:"OMG we're pregnant, we need to get outta here for the suburbs."
2007:"Look our kid isn't even walking yet. Let's eek a couple more years out of cityliving. Hey, at least the nannyshare is walkable."
2012: "We're not going to break our precious snowflakes if they attend PS/PK/K in the city...and maybe, just maybe we'll find a way to make it work."

Yes there will always be people who leave, but living in the suburbs is increasingly less attractive (traffic, inflitration of same urban issues we have in DC)...and we're close to a tipping point in many parts of the city in terms of having recruited sufficient middle class SES parents to make a lot of schools more viable than they might have been in the past for squeamish parents.[/quote]
