OP here, I appreciate the suggestion, but we are trying to leave the District for a better school system. [/quote]

It would seem to me that with a HHI of $1 million you would be able to pay for the private school of your choice and get to live in D.C. too?[/quote]

We most definitely could pay for private, but we are both (luckily in agreement on this issue) major public school advocates.  Private not an option philosophically. [/quote]

This is very interesting to me. So you are major public school advocates, but only if those public schools are good. Around here (and probably everywhere), quality of school is directly related to average income. It no longer sounds egalitarian and democratic to support public schools if you only support schools full of wealthy children.[b] I would like to hear more about your philosophy of education and whether it also applies to middle class and working class children[/b].[/quote]

I have to agree with this 100%.  Heaven forbid you should live in a "tear down" that most people would kill for AND send your preciouses to school with poor minorities.  The HORROR!  Some of us little peons out here in houses 1/2 to 1/3 of the price of what you are looking for are living just fine.  It's all about your values and priorities.  I want my kid to know that, though we make nowhere near what you do, we are still in the top 5-10% of earners in this country and have more than the vast majority of the people in this world.  Stop whining about your "dilemma" already - it sounds like insufferable, entitled bragging to me.[/quote]
