[quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat as the other Cleveland Park poster.  Same neighborhood, slightly lower HHI, but we could absolutely afford private - and it has been important to us to send our kids the public route.  Obviously we chose a neighborhood where the local schools (eaton, wilson) are strong enough to make this possible without feeling like we are compromising our kids educations.  I agree with whoever said that supporting local institutions is important.

I really value that my kids are exposed to more diversity than at the privates that I visited.  Eaton especially thrives on diversity, and I think it's fantastic that my kids have learned to play, work and enjoy kids from all different backgrounds.  I think it will serve them later in life times a million.  Amoung our neighbors, our choise is not super popular yet, but I think it has been the right choice for us.  And I think my kids are thriving - and enjoying all the extras we are therefore able to add to their lives, like international travel and the occasional tutor or summer program.
