[quote=Anonymous]As long as it's not too much of a bubble, I'm fine with it. I chose to live close to downtown Bethesda, where the neighborhood kids are split 50/50 between public and private schools, because of its international diversity and relative safety (which means high income). We are a highly-educated international family, and we are looking for that open-mindedness and appreciation of different cultures, in a context where people have the means to be open-minded. Yes, there's a lot of academic competition, but there's also a lot of support and accommodations for children with special needs (we have a child with SN), so we don't feel that children are badly-served by such an atmosphere. So it works for us. I would hate to be in a wealthy bubble with a crushingly dominant ethnicity and culture. [/quote]
