[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying anything should be mandated, but have noticed that ,at least at DD's school, most families live in MOCO, or VA and not DC so I do understand  her gut reaction.Give her a break. Kids get stabbed during the school day at DCPS. Has anyone ever watched the behavior and listened to the language of the "students" at Tennleytown metro at 3pm on a school day??Last year a Wilson student participated in the car jacking and robbery of a teacher who recognized him during the crime and he recognized her. He  then  got out of the car before his uncle was about to attempt a rape.Not exactly A.J. smoking pot is it? My point is: people who live in DC may be choosing privates not just because they want "the best" but because they are trying to protect their child and that tends to make people feel a little on edge.Give her a break. And if you live in Foxhall and make over a million a year,please don't post,"and I live in DC" because you should know better.[/quote]

Sorry . . . if the schools are that horrible, OP should move like the rest of us had to.  You know, there are lots of us who would prefer to live in the District for our own satisfaction but live in the suburbs because it suits our children's lives better.  OP has decided to put her desire to love in DC over her ability to have good public schools in the event her child doesn't get into or she can't afford, private schools and she has to love with the consequences of that.  I chose to live in the suburbs so that I have a great public school option and I live with the consequences of that.  [/quote]
