[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird question.  Is the principal buying in your neighborhood or are you buying in hers?  From the OP, it sounds like the principal is buying in her neighborhood.  DMV real estate is HOT, so if the principal found a great house, kudos to her!  She can’t be expected to rule out every neighborhood that might have a student.  FWIW, we live 1 block away from my kids’ principal.  No issue at all—don’t approach when she’s gardening, just wave hello.  Don’t corner her about school issues while she’s in her neighborhood and you’ll be just fine.[/quote]

OP here.
HS Principal bought a couple houses down from me.   Our school districts allow students to transfer to a different high school in the district for specialty programs, so I think having my kid go to a different high school is a good idea.   It's actually very common--at least half the high schoolers in our neighborhood (that I know) attend a different high school for the specialty program.[/quote]

You are going to make your kid transfer schools because you think it would get awkward to live down the street from your HS principal? Get a grip, OP.  [/quote]

There is no "make my kid transfer" in this situation.  Like I said, it's VERY common in our district and at least half the kids I know do it.   If anything, requiring he go to the school we are zoned for would be "making him" miss out on the opportunity to attend a different specialty program.[/quote]
