[quote=Anonymous]The education on the east coast is more advanced. We’ve made a couple of cross country moves for hubs work and each time we land in DC the kids have a full year to catch up on if not more. This is pretty common amongst the others we have talked to so we know we are not alone.  We live in Marin County, in Tiburon specifically. Where we live there is a hierarchy amongst the parents it seems with the PTA/Foundation parents who raise millions of dollars up at the top (no surprise there obv). The surprise comes when you see the amount of control they have on your child’s school experience , sports teams, play dates, after school programs etc. If white self segregation isn’t your thing and you choose to support the kids in Marin city 5 minutes away (the AG stepped in to force desegregation btw) you will be surprised by the  level of insidiousness with which the people in power operate. It’s really awful. Sure you might think it’s bad in DC, but Marin County takes inhumanity to another level. It’s bizarro world over here, you have a far better chance raising a good human in DC.
