[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all these people triggered by OP's question and insulting her are so embarassing. bethesda is large, and everyone knows deep down its nicer. that's why its more expensive. i don't really feel a huge difference between downtown bethesda and downtown silver spring, but if people think the neighborhoods in bethesda or the schools are worse than silver spring .... they're either lying to themselves, have only lived in this area for 5 years or something and don't know sh*t about the region, or delusional. give me a break.

Ha, no. I could afford Bethesda or SS, and I prefer SS. DT Bethesda truly does not appeal at all. DT SS is fun and active. And I prefer more down to earth people and schools. [/quote]

I think both downtown Bethesda and downtown silver spring are mediocre. It's funny how everyone thinks everyone in Bethesda is some millionaire with a butler or something. I can't easily differentiate between silver spring "people" and Bethesda "people." I live in NW DC, I'm from the area, and yeah - I think I know more than 90% of people in this thread about these neighborhoods because I've lived in both of them (and NW DC and NE DC). SS has more crime than Bethesda. The schools are NOT good. They just aren't. [/quote]

Have you actually been in the schools? Met all of the staff and students? People are so quick to label a school without actually spending time in one. I’ve worked in Northwood High school (and a few others in the county, elementary and high school, while also having friends who worked in W schools) and I know all about the school ratings. [/quote]

No, I haven't been in ALL the schools and met ALL the staff and teachers. What kind of idiotic question is that? But Bethesda schools are better overall  than Silver Spring schools. It's not subjective. I don't think there's some special teacher insider knowledge about ratings that you have access to that the general public doesn't. Thanks for the genuine chuckle. [/quote]

DP Totally happy with our Silver Spring schools. Totally happy with the cohort my children have in them. Totally happy with our kids' teachers, some of whom have been super spectacular and I doubt they could be beat by anyone in Bethesda schools.  Your "better" is my "meh."  Everyone values different things. My values are different from yours, and you will not convince me that my kids would have had a better experience in Bethesda schools.  It would have been a different experience, and probably fine. But better?  Meh.
