[quote=Anonymous]It's not new. I moved every three years and if we lived off post, schools were the number one priority. Living in DC makes things complicated. You deal with issues that most of the rest of the country doesn't. Everywhere else we have lived has been simple - neighborhood schools. No lottery. No charter. You just go to the school you are assigned to. We always buy homes in great school districts. School and community overlap with everyone taking interest and pride in their neighborhood schools. When my DH is assigned to DC, we live in NoVA to avoid the school nonsense. If schools were not an issue, we would live closer in like we did before we had kids. We have done privates in other parts of the country, but the DC private school world is something I want no part of. [/quote]
