[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to a non-neighborhood school sucks.  I did that, and hated ithe commute and not living near my friends.  We moved to MoCo from PG solely because of schools and certainly would not have done that if I didn’t know they could attend a neighborhood school.  
[b]The dirty truth is that MoCo is using the rich folks’ tax base to find all the county schools and services. [/b] One of the top reasons people move to MoCo is for the neighborhood public schools.  Without them, I’d like in DC and cut my commute in half .  It’s also true for the state—MoCo pays a dispoprtionate amount of the state’s revenue.  It’s too easy to leave MoCo and find a perfectly nice house elsewhere, so if you remove the main incentive for upper income people to live here, you’ll likely see it in your revenue stream.
Fwiw, I had never heard of a W school before moving here.  We just wanted a suburban neighbor close to metro where kids attended the local schools—most of the kids in our PG neighborhood went to privates. [/quote]

How is that a "dirty" truth?  Everyone knows this is the case, both at the MoCo level and at the federal level.[/quote]
