[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have also thought that the more middle class incomes in the woodson area could add to the stress--knowing states schools are the only option, financially.   there are a ton of great private schools around the country that will take these super smart kids, but not for the price of local in state.[/quote]

I see this argument on many Woodson threads, probably by the same one or two people. Those who can afford a 600-800k home are not middle class. And I have heard many people say that Langley and McLean is a pressure cooker, even if they haven't had the same suicide numbers.

And VA has a range of public colleges. A kid who doesn't get into UVA can go to JMU or Tech. I'm not seeing why there would be more competition for state schools than at a wealthier school. [/quote]

How can you say 600-800k homeowners in this area are not middle class?   That makes zero sense.   The area is filled with military officers and fed workers.   No one is rolling in extra dough - they're paying for a house in a good school district, and won't have enough savings for private college.  They're exactly middle class.  People with big trust funds and lobbyists with big paychecks aren't living in Annandale outside the beltway.[/quote]
