[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NWDC is friendly and a great place to raise kids, especially if you want them to have a sense of confidence in navigating cities as they grow into adolescence. A great mix of interesting people. I love living here. Good luck with your move![/quote]

Stressful, cut throat, superficial, competitive, sneaky, petty too when it comes to kids. The schools in NW can be pressure cookers. Works for some kids but if you have kid who are not top students they will feel behind.[/quote]
PP here. Could be, certainly - think it depends on a lot of different variables. Mostly I worry about the wealth and privilege, which set up the wrong expectations for kids. But I like living here nonetheless. Everything involves tradeoffs.[/quote]

OP here - Thank you and appreciate the honesty. The wealth thing is understandable. When living HK, I became used to/numb to seeing Ferraris and Rolls all of the time. Love the open spaces that I hear DC has and of course the museums, national attractions, etc. Unsure how all of that is working with COVID, but life moves forward I guess.[/quote]
