[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to a W school in Montgomery County.   Husband and I are appalled at the nasty comments she receives.  So rude, so nasty.   We just figure the parents must be as nasty.   Openly talk about their top SAT scores, and which colleges are good and which are not.   Daughter has come home in tears.   I can't wait to get out of this area and can't wait to get HER out.    We don't want to look at Maryland for this reason - have had enough...[/quote]

+1 - also a W school. [b] I've told my spouse many times that I can't wait to move away from this area.  It sucks.[/b][/quote]

I know what you mean.  I went to a W school and couldn't wait to get the hell out of there when I went away for college.  As a parent I knew there was no way I wanted to raise my kids in that area so my husband and I settled elsewhere (not far distance-wise but a world away in other ways).  When my kid's friends were making college decisions, every single one of them was cheered.  No negative comments from the kids or the parents.  I'm sure some parents were competitive and nasty but I mostly experienced full support and that's exactly what I offer my friends' kids now. I hope you get to move - just visiting my family back in the area raises my blood pressure![/quote]
