[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the earlier PPs (with the list of things I like about DTSS) and there's an underlying dynamic here that might explain some of the defensiveness. Those of us who have chosen to live in Silver Spring (or Takoma Park or Wheaton) are largely tired to having (mostly) white folks come in and start "just asking questions" about our neighborhoods, schools, and preferences. These threads, whether on DCUM or local listserves or FB groups, are often started by people who come in with an attitude of "convince me." For a lot of us, we're sick of trying to convince people who don't share our values. So, I'm not going to do it anymore. My kids are thriving at their local public schools. I genuinely like my neighbors and my neighborhood. If it's not for OP, that's fine. Property values suggest that there's someone else right behind her that would like to live over here. [/quote]
