[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is largely histrionics without any factual basis, but when I read the hateful ignorance in many of these posts I wish the county would integrate the segregated areas to promote empathy and understanding. [/quote] +1. The snobiness here (from a bunch of liberals!) is ridiculous. I’m in GP elem and expect to go to Woodward. Fine with me. This is not a seismic shift. My kid, who’s from a high income family with two parents with graduate degrees, most likely is going to have the same trajectory whether he goes to WJ or Woodward. You all need to get a grip. If you’re in your home for a significant period of time (as you should be if you’re financially responsible), the impact on your home value is not going to be a big deal in the long haul. Our HHI is over 400K but avoiding status-obsesssed people like the PPs is what keeps me from living in Bethesda.[/quote] Ok PP, I feel the same. But what if it’s Einstein?[/quote] I'm focused on my own kid. I went to what would have been considered the Einstein-level high school in what was a strong public school system overall (not MoCo). It did not hinder me in any way. I still went to Ivy League schools. People here are hysterical about ridiculous marginal differences -- I find it neurotic and extremely off-putting. And doubly gross because it comes from a bunch of self-professed liberals who turn their noses up at all the racist/sexist/anti-immigrant/whatever people that they're supposedly so much better than. Meanwhile they are grossly class-obsessed and entitled with crappy interpesonal skills such that they can't have a normal conversation with a middle-class person. It's no wonder their kids take after them with their snobby attitudes and stereotypes about anyone who's less fancy. I'd frankly rather my kid be surrounded with more normal people.[/quote] And yet you worked in the gratuitous Ivy League references. Are you sure you’re really as normal as the folks who just want to avoid losing equity in their homes and having their kids rezoned to schools that focus mostly on kids who struggle to pass the PARCC assessments? Maybe you’re just looking to be the beneficiary of a redistricting and quick to stick “anti-“ labels on anyone who gets in your way. [/quote]
