[quote=Anonymous]I do know some DC kids like this (Sidwell crew, late 90s) and they are super close. It’s wonderful. On the other hand, that’s who they are close with. They aren’t close with their college friends. I am public, lifer and my closest friends are from college. We keep in touch regularly (and yes fancy snotty private college). I know people for whom this is the reverse. Some of my public HS friends are very close and still friends. Some of the Big 3 kids I knew left and never looked back. This is just a totally odd reason to sign up to be a lifer, believing you can force your kids into lifelong friendships. I don’t think you can. Things like educational values, housing, economic trade offs, where to live, proximity to things that are improtant to you (your job, your club, your parents, whatever), neighborhood-centric living, kinds of kids you want your kids around would seem to be way more important.
