[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One really nice thing about the Brent area is that you can easily walk or bike to the mall and thus your kid's education will be enhanced in that way. It can be hard to drive and park on the mall, especially during cool events, like the national book fair. If you are the kind of parent who will take advantage of these features you should factor it in. [/quote]

Good point. But you could also metro to mall and have same experience. As great as some of the perks are at Brent, I can't see how anyone thinks they outweigh long term educational stability.[/quote]

[b]Long term PUBLIC educational stability, you mean. There is not a good public middle school or high school but let's not act like Brent students don't have educational stability.There are charter and private options [/b]that many people prefer over Deal and Wilson. [/quote]

for people who find out now or in the future when it matters that they cannot afford private, there is no educational stability because charters are only "options" if you get in to the one you want...... and if there are any you would be willing to go to.  The same is true of living IB for Key or Mann if Hardy is not acceptable to you.... but there, there is at least more certainty that if you assume it is on the right trajectory and your kid is young, you are guaranteed access to a school that might be acceptable by the time you get there
parent of charter kids zoned for Hardy who lives in NW coming from JKLM - the K or the M, obviously[/quote]
