[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't believe in well-off people segregating themselves in their Georgetown or Kalorama islands of privilege. I want my daughter to be exposed to a richer, more diverse social environment than she currently gets at her $4K/month private school, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the quality of her education. If I can spend $1,500 on rent instead, and send her to a good public school that I'm already paying for, I won't feel an ounce of guilt about it.[/quote] Fixed it for you: "I don't believe in well-off people segregating themselves. Except in their well-off segregated schools, which I would like my kid to attend."[/quote] Exactly. I'd add: "I don't want to downsize from my house, which is less expensive because of the "diverse social environment." Which I don't actually want to expose my daughter to, because ewww, poor/brown people. Also, if I move WOTP, I lose my ability to brag about how progressive I am." [/quote]
