[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that it happens at every school. We are at Oakland Terrace in Silver Spring and it doesn't happen. The moms are not fake, nobody has $500 purses, and I can't remember the last time I saw a luxury SUV. Most of the parents I know are feds, some in the sciences and some in policy, some small business owners, teachers, tech workers, construction. Apparently the snotty parents don't move to this neighborhood. If I were to hazard a guess it would be because we do have about a 1/3 immigrant population in the school, to which snobs tend to be allergic. Frankly many of those kids are performing as well or better than my white kid.[/quote]

I live in Bethesda, and most of my neighbors are feds, in the sciences, in policy, small business owners, teachers, tech workers, and in construction.  So your point is....?[/quote]

My point was that none of the parents I know at our school are the snobs the OP described, and I tried to back it up with some kind of description of the non-snobs, in my words. It sounds like the people who live near you are similar. Though I admit it truly is news to me though that most of the parents in Bethesda are feds, scientists, teachers, etc. I figured that since the average home price is something like $800K+, people in the professions I mentioned, who might make something like $100K at the best, could not afford to live there. Am I wrong about that? I truly don't know so I'd be curious. The two families I know well who live in Bethesda are 1) big law; and 2) double-physician family. [/quote]

see you are so wrong about people who live in bethesda, good assumptions though, perhaps they are jsut good at saving money and have goals.  maybe, just maybe you would understand that many peopel who live there grew up there and our parents taught us the value of a good steady job like teaching, gov't jobs etc.

It isn;t what you make it is how you spend it.  [/quote]

OK all you teachers, just learn the value of your job and have goals and save money and you can buy a house for $800K. [/quote]
