[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I cannot stop reading OP's post and thinking they are listing fewer black/Hispanic children is a great reason to move. [/quote]
Because too many people associate "better" schools with whiter schools in their thinking, and contribute to segregation.

Oh yes, of course.

Usually the racism I read on DCUM is way more dog-whistley, not this blatant "the fewer brown children, the better" racism from OP.[/quote]

Op here. Wow. Quite the opposite. I miss my super nice African-American, Hispanic and Asian neighbors.[/quote]

But you just didn't want your child to be educated with them, obviously[/quote]

Also, why didn't you do your homework before you bought the house? I would never buy a house without knowing there were plenty of kids my kid's age in close proximity. Those huge houses always look lonely. If diversity was important to you, did you not research the numbers before choosing the school? All you did was look at a Great Schools ranking? [/quote]

DH wanted the short commute. We bought a giant house with large yard close to DC. DH says to give it time.

We live in a beautiful house on a street with no kids.[/quote]
