Ha! Omifucking g*d--you are so right.  I am sitting in a 1.5 million house built in the 1920s in 'awful' Arlington.  I grew up in NW.  I don't need a car to get anywhere and my kids go to, quite literally, one of the best elementary schools in the country..and it's public.  The Sec. of Education chose it for his own children as well and he could have sent them anywhere in the greater Metropolitan area.  I also still own a house in NW--but would have had to said my kids to one of the DC privates.  Contrary to a pp's belief about the finances of those that live in N.Arlington--this area has some of the biggest earners in the region.  FWIW, our own HHI is $500k+.  We could afford private...we even still have our house in DC which we rent.  The one reason I would not send my kids to a private school there is because it is filled with douchebag, classist parents.  I would not want my boys learning those values and hanging out with social losers.  It is much more important to me that they understand not everyone is like them and that they are no better just becuause they have moer money.

You sound conflicted, my dear. Why the need to brag about your 1.5MM home, the Sec of Ed's kid attending an Arlington public, the high earners in Arlington, your HHI-- only to bash the "classist parents" of DC privates??? Tell me, what exactly about your environment espouses different values than a private school?[/quote]
