[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMHO, a school is more influenced by the families of students than its facilities. One of the reasons that the W' schools stand out, is the fact that a very large proportion of families in those schools consider education very important and, more importantly, are putting real effort to help the students succeed in their education. Not every family is taking the same approach. It is true that, sometimes, the peer-pressure can be overwhelming, both for the students and the parents. But I take it as an opportunity for us, both the students and the parents, to learn how to be true to ourselves and do the right things that we believe in. In terms of family income, this area is higher, and there are plenty of wealthy families. But due to the high housing cost, many, if not most,[b] families are just living a "middle class" lifestyle that one can afford at a much lower income in other places (say, some university town.)[/b] [/quote] oh please.. I live in 20854, Rockville, and most people even in this part (the poorer part of 20854 zoned for RM) don't live regular middle class lifestyles. I grew up lower/middle income in a working class area. I know what real middle class is, and people who live in 20854, even if they are driving Honda minivans are nowhere near how the real middle class lives.[/quote]
