[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the chancellor need to go? What happens if Trump I’m takes over DC? [/quote]

DCPS has done a good enough job of making its own case that anyone wealthy should go private. No one with resources is invested the system anymore. Good luck challenging Trump.[/quote]

What are top 5 things the wealthy want? From my understanding, the wealthy always went to the legacy private schools in this area.  What’s your advice for us going into this school year regarding Trump. [/quote]

Private school tuition has gone nuts in the last decade, is the issue. Even someone in the top 5% in DC (425k) would balk at tuition at some of these places. Two kids absolutely not.

“Wealthy” is subjective, though, maybe that doesn’t count. [/quote]

We're well off with an HHI around $500K. But we have 3 kids close together in age. We absolutely cannot afford private school for all 3.[/quote]

I know a couple other people in your position. They’re saving that money for college where they will get zero help. Also a lot of us- we only started making that kind of money when we became attendings (after a fellowship) or finished grad school. It’s a short earning life and savings haven’t quite compounded enough yet to pay for private without putting a dent in retirement or other savings.[/quote]
