[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC private schools are not as much of a wealth/privilege bubble as some people here say. It is all relative. For a lot of us this is just normal life in DC and we see schools elsewhere as privileged.[/quote] This is just so untrue. There are more than 200 public high schools in the DMV, the large majority of which are not Langley, McLean or a W school. Most are incredibly racially and economically diverse, with many students qualifying for free or reduced priced lunches. There really is no comparison between the better DMV privates and most of these schools, but you can get an excellent education at virtually all of them. For you to say that "this is just normal life in DC" just confirms that you live in a bubble. I assure you, it isn't "normal" for the large majority of families living in our area. [/quote] Normal for people who are educated with a decent career. Not normal for the rest.[/quote]
