if HIGH SES parents didn't have charter options we all would have continued the flight out of the city as soon as the kids hit Kindergarten.  More are staying and guess what , our high incomes (Which seem to offend some of you clueless folks), cover a great deal of things you enjoy in this city.  Want to go back in time to the late 80s as the city was going bankrupt?  Your welcome.[/quote]

We long-time DC residents who were here before you arrived and are here now often have higher incomes than your prideful self does.    You're a 30 yr old at a non-profit?  Hey guess what!  I'm the exec director of that non-profit.   You're a 3rd year associate at BigLawX?  My husband is your boss.   and so on.

During those dark days of the 1980s -- which you can't actually remember, because let's be honest, you weren't born yet -- people like us sent our kids to independent schools.    We still do.   And while we think it's adorable that you really, really Believe In Dual Immersion, we don't begrudge you that.   It's fine if you stay, it'll be fine when you do leave for MoCo by high school at the latest.[/quote]
