[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you keep your kids in a school district like this? Is your row house & walking commute really worth it?[/quote]

- Kid can walk to school rather than being ferried around in an SUV everywhere.
- Kid has friends they've known since PK3
- Tight-knit community outside of school.
[b]- Bullying in middle school is universal.[/b]
- If my kid is killed or seriously injured, it's going to be in a car in the suburbs.
[b]- (Ironically) Don't have to worry about mass school shootings.[/b]

We've always planned to leave when it stops working; fortunately for our family, it hasn't stopped working yet.

Oh, and the walking commute is a nice perk.

As to your first bolder point, bullying may be universal, but ongoing violence is most definitely NOT.

Your second bolded point is just delusional. [/quote]

NP.  The second point is NOT delusional.  Where do mass shootings take place?  All that I'm aware of have been in suburbs with different demographics, not urban city centers.[/quote]

YET. [/quote]

Sure it's not out of the question, but based on prior history this statistically rare event is more likely to happen in the suburbs.[/quote]

Aren't most suicide clusters in this area at the richer "better" high schools as well?  It may just not get reported, but it seems like you don't hear about suicides at Wilson or SWW or other DC high schools.  [/quote]
