[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that it happens at every school. We are at Oakland Terrace in Silver Spring and it doesn't happen. The moms are not fake, nobody has $500 purses, and I can't remember the last time I saw a luxury SUV. Most of the parents I know are feds, some in the sciences and some in policy, some small business owners, teachers, tech workers, construction. Apparently the snotty parents don't move to this neighborhood. If I were to hazard a guess it would be because we do have about a 1/3 immigrant population in the school, to which snobs tend to be allergic. Frankly many of those kids are performing as well or better than my white kid.[/quote]

I live in Bethesda, and most of my neighbors are feds, in the sciences, in policy, small business owners, teachers, tech workers, and in construction.  So your point is....?[/quote]

My point was that none of the parents I know at our school are the snobs the OP described, and I tried to back it up with some kind of description of the non-snobs, in my words. It sounds like the people who live near you are similar. Though I admit it truly is news to me though that most of the parents in Bethesda are feds, scientists, teachers, etc. I figured that since the average home price is something like $800K+, people in the professions I mentioned, who might make something like $100K at the best, could not afford to live there. Am I wrong about that? I truly don't know so I'd be curious. The two families I know well who live in Bethesda are 1) big law; and 2) double-physician family. [/quote]
