[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're anything like me, you will be sorry you raised kids here. It is nothing like that dreamy, suburban upbringing you (and I) had. Especially at the NWDC privates. I have two high schoolers there now and they HATE it. My DD especially wishes she had grown up the way I did, and not the way her crazy, miserable faither, who grew up in DC and also went to one of the elitist privates did. If you can go back to Miami, you should. I would in a heartbeat, but my husband got us trapped here.[/quote] What do they hate about it?[/quote] Very intense. Very elitist. My DH told my son the other day not to mention to anybody the back up schools he's applying to (he's a senior), because it might give people the wrong impression. My son laughed in disgust. [/quote] Good for your son. Dad needs to get his head on straight. Fun fact: most large company CEOs didn’t graduate from HYP etc. [/quote] Your DH sounds like an a-hole. I’m assuming he grew up here. What an insecure jerk. [/quote]
