[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to public school all the way through - my parents could've afforded private - and got a great education and 2 Ivy degrees.  In the same boat with my kids, have the money, staying public in NWDC (Hardy feeder through to Wilson). [b] I don't feel like my kids need such a sheltered, country club like environment for school or such as sense of heightened privilege that I feel so many families feel they are either 'buying' or cultivating (or shielding their kids from difference).[/b]  I get that the privates offer smaller class sizes and stunning campuses and resources - but many of the area publics offer really strong academics, resources, extra currics etc etc - and there are a large number of families where they COULD afford privates but don't.  For all the grumbling on DCUM - Deal and Hardy and Wilson are really nice schools, the kids have access to tons of advantages, and do just fine.  [/quote]

This.  I don’t want sheltered kids.  The world will not cater to your needs.  Better to learn now than later on.  [/quote]
