Oh give it a rest.  I just looked at the grade lists for my two kids there.  One grade has 4 people I'd consider either (a) wealthy enough to donate something like $100K to a college, or (b) important enough to rate as "famous for DC."  The other grade has just 2. [b] The other 100+ parents are just regular working people.  Yes, they certainly skew more toward well paying jobs like doctors or lawyers, but none of the others are famous or fabulously wealthy.  [/b]Some of you have unrealistic understandings of the families that actually attend these schools.  [/quote]

Clearly you're skipping [i]the very next sentence[/i].  I changed the bold to make it easier for you to see.  A GS-14 government lawyer or an internist at a local hospital is going to have a nice life, but they're not celebrities.  They're just working people who are lucky enough to have jobs that pay enough to afford private school.
