[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it sounds like DW's plan all along might have been to move for schools and you two were never on the same page.  "Excitement" about DCI does not mean it's going to be as great as people hope.  Perhaps your wife prefers an established, high-performing school pyramid in the suburbs.  That being said, can you two agree to see how this school works out for your kid and keep an open mind for what will be best down the road?  It's pretty late to try to move for this school year anyhow.  [/quote]

OP again. Thank goodness for sick days off from work, right. LOL. Anyways, you're definitely on to her. She has mentioned a "high-performing school pyramid in the suburbs" more than once. In fact, often. And, clearly we were not on the same page about moving/staying. Because school starts next month, we'll definitely be staying put for now. What makes me angry is I've actually studied school pyramids in the burbs to the hilt as well. My kid's education is a number 1 to me, so I've investigated every option out there under the sun. DW has not done the same. A burb pyramid has merit as well, although many don't have immersion, which I'm very bullish on. Some do, though in close-in MD and VA. I'm not naysaying those because I like to stick to facts. And there's many great/awesome options there as well. I just believe the choices here in the city are great too- depending on the specific school. I was not happy with the IB option, so I researched charters ad nauseum and, of course, things may change when DS actually starts; however, if the school doesn't measure up, it won't be from lack of research. The test scores are awesome and the immersion program is "great" from talking to parents, seeing the school, reading reviews etc... I simply cannot tolerate someone saying "schools suck in the District and why would you send our son there" etc... with no basis whatsoever. I can't stand it from parents just out there on the playground, let alone my DW.[/quote]
