[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are correct.  Those schools are very heavily chinese first generation immigrants, along with the other Wootton feeder schools (Travilah, etc).

Everyone is polite and friendly, but if you desire a sense of "community" where families hang out together, you won't get it as much at these schools.

If you go closer into Potomac, at a school such as Wayside, the demographics are a little more even there.  Still very heavily asian with a large jewish population as well.

For the true "community" experience, you will have to move into bethesda, or if that is out of your budget, somewhere such as Rachel Carson ES or Jones Lane ES in 20878.[/quote]

Come on, many of those other Bethesda or Potomac neighborhoods are heavily white and if you're Asian no you probably won't find that "community" there either. You can tell just by looking at the elementary sports teams at those schools which are parent-formed and they are almost exclusively white. We know a child who is Chinese-American and asked for years if he could be on one of the teams and was always told they were full even when new white kids came on the team all the time. [/quote]

LOL, so two of mine white and Jewish were left out of those teams as well. Your post is ridiculous.  That story never happened the way you are describing it.

The parents in elementary and possibly MS are the coaches of these teams. They put the kids on the teams who they are friends with it has always been this way.

Since I was not friends with those parents my kids were never asked to be on those teams. I did ask for my DS as he wanted to play t ball with his friends and soccer. He was "too quiet and shy" to play with his so called best buddy.

DS went off to play Divsion 1 Lax, State champ in track......

Parents are clicky and annoying. [/quote]
