[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I laugh when I see the area around Woodson referred to as blue collar or middle class. We could have afforded other areas but wanted to have good commutes, good schools and not be surrounded by assholes. We are a two SES household and do just fine on our 400k combined income. We save for college, go on vacations and our children do not suffer from our lost salaries.[/quote]

It is middle class.  No one said blue collar, and no one said middle class in a negative way.  Middle class doesn't mean no vacations.  Many families make significantly less than you do in that area, and may have a harder time saving for college, especially if they have multiple kids.  I also don't think people calling the area middle class are being assholes.  They are trying to figure out what could be an underlying cause for the suicides to see what can be done to help to prevent any more. [/quote]

I have seen other threads where the area is referred to as blue collar. We live in the neighborhood too and I don't find any parents over the top or pushing their kids for test scores. One neighbor's kid is going to UVA and another to Mason- everyone thinks both aregreat for the kids. The suicides are terrible and I wish the school would reflect on their atmosphere. We are considering private for high school because of the pressure cooker reputation.[/quote]
