[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing, if you buy in a zone that's within your budget, you are going to be surrounded by people like you. There are plenty of perfectly normal, involved parents in schools across the county. They may not be able to afford the same things as the W school parents but neither can you if you stretch your budget just for the schools. [/quote]

What the heck?  How would you know what parents can afford at what school in what community? Ew.  How arrogant of you. [/quote]

You are misreading what I'm saying. OP said in the first post that a W school district is at the top of his range. I live in a cluster that most DCUMers wouldn't even consider living in and that gets bashed constantly. There is a thread right now bashing it. My point is, people always act like you have to live in a W school district to provide a good life for your child. And that's simply not true. Just because you can't afford a W school doesn't mean that your child is doomed to live in the ghetto. There are plenty of us who aren't willing to be house poor to live in a W school district and we are perfectly normal people who are still involved parents with happy kids.[/quote]

I don't know why the other PP got so worked up. A shorter way of saying what you said is: "OP presumably thinks they are an involved parent who will make sure their kid gets good opportunities. If they pick a neighborhood they can afford, there will be other people who are also involved parents making sure their kids get good opportunities. You don't have to max out your budget to find other good parents."[/quote]

Yes, thank you. You said that much more eloquently than I did.[/quote]
