[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad we moved out of the DC area before HS.  My kid goes to a private school and virtually all of the students go to college, but there is no meanness about the students' choices.

One of the many good things that has happened to my kid is getting to know people from all walks of life and truly understanding how privileged she is to be able to choose to attend any college she can get into.  One of my DC's friends is starting out at community college, and DC understands that this is a wise choice for someone who has limited resources, or wants to stay close to home, or wants to do so for any number of other reasons. Another friend will be attending a "top 20" college, and DC is very happy for him, but no more so than the 5 or 6 that will be going to the state flagship.  It's just not that big of a deal, either way.

It's not just this board -- I talk to old friends from DC's private school in DC, and even second hand, I can sense the stress and competitiveness. My DH have discussed more than once how happy we are to not be part of it. [/quote]

Wish we could have left but wasn’t in cards. Hopefully my kids will be more resilient and kind for having lived through the crap. [/quote]
