[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get an apartment in DC instead of living in the suburbs? Elementary schools are great in some wards. [/quote] But it is still different than a great school in the suburbs. In the suburbs, everyone goes to the neighborhood bus stop. You meet other parents. Kids play with their school friends who live in the neighborhood. In DC, families are scrambling to figure out which school to go to, what to do about middle school, and then traipsing all over town to get their kid to the school they got into. Then, if you are lucky enough to have other kids in the neighborhood, they may not be at the same school. As much as I loved living in DC, I think it is much better for kids to grow up in the DC suburbs. There is a greater sense of community around the schools, schools are overall much better, crime is lower, and by and large the kids can run around on their own after school. [/quote]
