[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so frustrated.  :x Why is it that you have to spend close to a million dollars, or more, on a home, just so your kid can get a quality education without paying $30,000 a year?  It's as if a child doesn't deserve a good education, unless their parents make a certain amount of money, & can afford to live in "the right neighborhood".  This seems to be the case in DC, MD, & VA.

I consider us a middle class family, if that exists anymore, & Great Schools gives every school in the neighborhoods that we can afford an average of a "4".  We can't afford the neighborhoods ranking schools 7 and up.

I'm sorry, but I just believe whether you make $1,000,000 a year, or $30,000 a year, each child deserves the best.

My rant for the day.[/quote]

There are good schools all over DC, VA, and MD.  Great schools is bs, and the sooner you learn that, the better.  Don't go by what either Great Schools or DCUM says.  Make the decision on your own.  Visit schools.  Talk to the principal, teachers, observe classes.  Stop acting helpless when you're not.[/quote]
