[quote=Anonymous]I don’t live in DC but, where I live, the city kids are from wealthier families and are more likely to be only kids to older parents. A huge amount of time and effort is dedicated to helping them succeed in life and their parents are hyper focused on getting them into the best schools, programs, activities etc. Generally, their parents drive them to and from activities where they socialize with peers. They don’t have a lot of free time that isn’t scheduled. Suburbs kids are more likely to have more siblings and have parents who are less involved in their academic and social lives. They have more free time and are more likely to engage with “neighborhood friends”. These kids frequently go to public schools and interact with a more economically diverse group of peers. They are more into sports and less into politics than their city counterparts. [/quote]
