[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what the "real issue" is, or if it's "progress" that Brent's 5th grade is always jammed with families who struck out at BASIS and the Latins. Still, I'm glad that a number of my kid's old pals will likely be returning for 5th grade.[/quote] Of course, I'd imagine for many of the Brent-zoned families, it's something like "Yeah, too bad we stuck out at Latin/Basis, so we'll just have to settle for GDS next year."[/quote] Untrue. Yes, there are a few Brent family who can afford GDS, and others who attend on a lot of fi aid. But most Brent parents work for Uncle Sam (with the House office buildings a 10-min walk from the school), or in jobs associated with govt work. They're not raking it in, even if their houses are worth more than a million dollars. Capitol Hill just isn't Upper NW. A lot of us bought Brent District real estate many years ago, before the Hill was nearly as pricey as it is now. [/quote]
