[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of variability in size of the school which can be pretty important. Wood Acres in Bethesda is large][/b]

I've been a Bethesda realtor for almost 30 years and while my kids went to Churchill, I definitely have a lot of experience with the families of Bethesda.

I'd agree with this PP, you can't go wrong with any of the schools in Bethesda. 
In my opinion, I'd say that the schools that feed into WJ (Ashburton & Wyngate) are very, very family friendly neighborhoods.  Folks are always out walking their dogs, walking, jogging, playing at the park, shooting hoops, stopping and talking to their neighbors, much, much more family friendly than Whitman.

That is NOT a knock on Whitman, whatsoever. 
Whitman's houses tend to be much more farther apart, like 2 house lengths and it's much harder to get to know your neighbors that way (not ALL neighborhoods, think Burning Tree).

[b]I see a lot more of the kids from WJ lifeguarding, babysitting, tutoring, offering lawn work, etc.

Again, this isn't an insult to Whitman.[/b]
In my opinion though, I just find that the families in WJ neighborhoods are very, very close knit with their families and their neighbors and I see them out and about together, much more than I see Whitman families (and I'm not only shopping, going to restaurants, working, etc in Bethesda & Rockville, I'm in DC a lot too).

As this pp said, you can't go wrong with any of the elementary's that feed into Wj or Whitman.

Just my 2 cents, good luck.[/quote]

No but you made it sound like it is. You clearly look down on people who engage themselves in something you
clearly frown upon.. "paid labor".  It feels like you are trying to spell "p a u p e r " [/quote]

Oh, you're back yaaaaay.  :roll:

Seriously though, what in the hell are you talking about?

You definitely need to take a step back, because your distorted, jaded, skewed views are definitely clouding any rational mindset you may have.

If you read my post again, you'll see that I'm actually giving *CREDIT* to those kids who get a job in high school lifeguarding, babysitting, snow removal, etc.  I couldn't say enough what great families these kids come from... good lord.

These kids make their own money and don't rely on mommy and daddy soley for it and I've always had a great respect for ANYONE who starts working at a young age, no matter what they do!

How on earth could you possibly come to such a RIDICULOUS conclusion based on what I wrote?
Maybe stop looking at everything from a defensive stand point, your thought process is warped.

Btw PP, Welcome to Maryland!
I hope you'll like it  here as much as NYC. :)[/quote]
