[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing infuriates the striving tiger parents more, than UMC people who don’t validate their choices.

To the Wakefield grad posting here:
I’m sorry you felt “ less than” when you attended Wakefield, but by your own boasting, you’ve done very well in life. You've Even gone on to talk about your social circle. So, it doesn’t seem you were an extreme exception. That correlates with my neighbors. Seems like you are literally proof that it’s a great school.

As for why there is suddenly an uptick on threads asking about Wakefield.... hmmm... why could that be????

I could go on, but I think you get the idea. I picked Douglas Park, as it had been a historically affordable ,working Class neighborhood. In the last few years it crossed into mc/umc.

It can be hard to swallow when the “ghetto” you maligned as a kid, is the hot new spot, but that’s the nature of gentrification.

You could post some expensive listings on Capitol Hill, but that doesn’t mean the buyers will send their kids to Eastern.  But the families in the low-income housing will keep populating Wakefield (the Hispanic enrollment is up 40% over the past five years, and they aren’t gentrifiers).

True. 
The upper middle class buying in South Arlington are willing to consider Wakefield and not a school like Eastern. That must mean something...[/quote]
