[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of God, please don't drive to the ends of the earth to send your kids to the "best" privates.  I live near three and traffic is a f$&*ing nightmare because of all the parents racing through the city from VA and MD.

I love God, but He's not communicated any concerns about traffic in your 'hood.

Since Divine intervention is not forthcoming on this matter, perhaps simple common sense might help.  Have you considered moving?

As none of the elite schools in DC are new, perhaps you might also consider their location before choosing your next house.  Common sense would lead most people to understand that if you live around a school -- public or private -- there will be heavy traffic twice a day.  [/quote]

Wow - so you should get to live wherever you want and inconvenience others but the likely DC residents who pay the taxes to support your commute should be inconvenienced so you can live in Potomac (or Olney/Rockville if you are lower SES and think you are spending your way up)?

You do realize that everyone along the way is inconvenienced by your choice?  People who live along the route, others who are commuting etc and that doesn't even get into the environmental costs of driving and sprawl and it seems to be an odd requirement that to attend an elite private school in DC you must drive a gray imported SUV to be a part of the idiot herd.

How about you consider the location and the schools before choosing your home?  Or is thinking beyond yourself too heavy of a lift for you?[/quote]
