This! I hate discussing schools with people. It is a conversation riddled with ego land mines.[b] I don't care what people think about my choice but I don't like it when people think my choice is a rejection of theirs.[/b] [/quote] My feelings exactly!  [/quote]

In an ideal world, one would not mean the other.  Let's get this conversation back on track please.  5 of us went to top DC privates from the early 70s to late 80s, a time at which no white parent was sending their kid anywhere but Mann.  This was possible on a one household income.  It is no longer possible.

My friends from MY high school, who tend to be college professors and the like, have moved from DC to take advantage of educational opportunities in Md. and Va.  A large part of it for me is I never want my kids to feel poor.  They are not, by any means.  These schools have changed in the last 25 years.  I know very few of my peers who are continuing their family tradition at the expense of their retirement, etc.  In fact, I know of very few who want to deal with this new breed of Washington DCer.

We are hopeful about our school in DC.  But if it does not work, we will move to Md. or VA.  We will make no attempt  to perpetuate the fraud that is going on in the private schools today - they will and do rob you blind.  and I do think our dc have a better chance getting into the top colleges and universities from a DC non-private school, and we can prepare them academically.  There are quotas here people, x number in DC from privates, x number from publics.  My kids will stand out.[/quote]
