[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because lots of adults value living in the city, being really close to work, and being able to walk to urban amenities. In order to get that they're willing to compromise and send their kids to schools that are so-so when compared to the overall Washington metro area, but "good" for DC. I'm sincerely not trying to be judgmental. But I think that's the main reason. [/quote] I agree, but I would describe it thus: my husband & I live by a certain set of values that we hope to pass along to our kids. We chose our location in DC because it embodies our values. We've chosen the best available school for our kids, with the full knowledge that it's not the Absolute Best. We're fine with second/third/etc best, education-wise--what our kids learn in school is not the most important aspect of what we as parents are giving them. [/quote]
