LOL. My kids go to Janney and Deal. Is the diversity there somehow illegitimate? My Janney DC's class has students from Europe, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. My DC at Deal has all of that PLUS a huge amount of economic diversity. I think that these DC v. NOVA debates set up a false dichotomy where people resort to stereotypes to make their point. In DC, it is possible to have diversity (cultural and economic), proximity to parkland and a good education without "going private." In NOVA, it is possible to live a walkable lifestyle, eat at fine dining establishments and own a home with good access to public transport.

Peace out and have a lovely weekend.[/quote]
This is the NoVa poster and I believe you are agreeing with me without realizing it.  Janney population is much closer to the actual concept of diversity vs. a typical DC public school that has just white and black kids.  All I am saying is that public school populations in a typical NOVA public school are much more diverse (as is Janney) that a typical DC definition of diversity as "white and black".

Also agree about stereotypes of DC vs. NOVA.[/quote]
