[quote=Anonymous]I'm a foreigner who came to this country 20 years ago, got married and had kids. Even I knew to do my research, land in a state that has a decent flagship and OK-ish other colleges at a "reasonable price" (what passes for reasonable), and emphasize academics so my kids could be competitive for merit aid elsewhere. I apologize for my nasty tone, but I'm angry on your wallet's behalf. Why would you continue to live in the district and do this to your own finances? It's self-sabotage, and I don't get the middle class families who do this. The working poor can't afford to move out of DC. The middle class cannot afford NOT to move out of DC. Because of college costs. DCPS is such a lower performing system compared to MCPS or FCPS anyway, so apart from a very short commute, you weren't doing your family any favors... But OK, it's no use crying over spilt milk. Is it too late to move for kid#2?[/quote]
