[quote=Anonymous]Many neighborhoods in Bethesda and Potomac experience this phenomenon. When a large percentage of the kids reach school age or middle school age or high school age they are off to private schools. In our neighborhood it is at least 50%. This fractures friendships for the kids and for the families. The kids don't go to school together and because the at least some of the privates have their own weekend sports teams, they don't play together either. As a result, people who met one another thorough their kids activities aren't in frequent contact with one another. I call it the "Balkanization" of the neighborhood. [/quote]
