[quote=Anonymous]Another major factor to consider is that the truly poor of Washington don't apply to the elite privates because they have no desire to attend them--free or not. I work full time with poor families in DC and let me tell you-- they don't sit around thinking about how amazing it would be to schlep an hour+ each way (if they even can as they don't have cars and there isn't direct public transportation) to upper NW and go to a private school that requires 3-4 hours of homework per night in a class full of kids with parents who are lobbyists and law firm partners. They literally don't want this. AT ALL. [/quote]
