[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are still plenty of families in DC who can afford private schools without blinking.[/b] Why do you think the real estate market here is still so strong? My guess is actually simpler, public schools frown on absences. Those applicants are more likely to schedule tours and interviews on days when DCPS or MCPS are closed.[/quote] I don't think so. There are a lot using credit cards, equity lines, family help, etc. One family emergency and it's a wrap. There will be a tipping point and people will just stop paying and donating.[/quote]
