[quote=Anonymous]Since they began kindergarten, our kids have always had "school friends," "neighborhood friends," "pool/club friends," and "sports friends." If you choose a school that is further away then try to ensure that your child has neighborhood friends, too, and that you are involved in local rec leagues. We live in Alexandria. Our situation is not unusual. Almost all the families we know send their kids to schools outside of the local neighborhood, whether that be into the District or to nearby schools that are not part of the immediate neighborhood. It is completely different from how my husband and I were raised but it is the norm for here. Our kids seem very happy and well-adjusted. We don't worry about it. [/quote]
