[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I am glad I raised my kids here. They are exposed to all kinds of people and experiences that have made them more successful as college students and young adults. Learning to navigate a big city has taught them independence. Seeing the everyday life of the capital has exposed them to and given them an understanding of how politics works. The colleges and think tanks have exposed them to the importance of ideas. All of the culture - highbrow and lowbrow - has shown them many ways to have fun. Those things are all not available in smaller communities![/quote] And noting that all these things are available to DC kids without having to play in the parent olympics - your kid will pick them up as part of the life around them. Move to some small town somewhere? You are definitely going to have to play the parent olympics to expose your kid to this stuff.[/quote]
