[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, find a school near your home. You decided to live there, so put down some roots. Your child will make friends and want to do play dates.[/b] Leave DC public schools to residents who pay taxes for them. Our public schools are not an option for out of state residents.[/quote]
OP, your child is young so you probably haven't really thought through the ramifications of the bolded above. Schools create their own little communities centered around the neighborhoods they serve. As your child gets older, they and you will really feel the effects of being an outlier in that community since you will live extremely far away. And on the flip side, your child (and you as well) will miss out on the opportunities to create connections within your own neighborhood and school community. I'm not really seeing the upside for you in all of this. If your jobs in DC are stable and you are serious about wanting your child to attend school closer to your work, you should really consider moving to DC.[/quote]
