[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is with the bitter SES obsession from W-cluster parents here? You can't have it both ways! If better magnet changes are SO IMPORTANT to you and you are so well educated on this, you could have moved to a lower SES school or the TPES/PBES/TPMS/Blair pyramid in 3rd. But you didn't.[/quote]

:D  :D  :D  :D

For all the times I've seen folks on this board suggest that I'm a negligent parent for not forcing my kids to share a closet/bedroom in a one-bedroom apartment in order to live in a W-feeder, I really needed this.

That particular knife cuts both ways now that attending an economically integrated school is a bonus for CES and middle school admissions. [/quote]

Good for you! Not saying you need to attend a "bad" school by any means, but provided your child is happy and learning and in an environment where that continues to be possible, you don't need to have the best of the best facilities/room parents/fanciest valentines/play dates at 6-bedroom craftsmans. You just need to do what's best for you and that looks very different for everyone. For us, it's been living in a slightly lower COL area (than Bethesda) but within the TPMS boundary, which has almost certainly let our child slide in to a few magnets...pretty sure that wouldn't have happened if we attended a W-feeder. We knew this may be a benefit and are forever grateful for it. [/quote]
