[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: I actually know people with kids at OT, Flora, a couple title 1s in Silver Spring, as well as more upscale schools (for lack of a better descriptor) in Bethesda, Potomac, Kensington, olney and brookeville. I know teachers and principals in mcps at the best and worst schools as well. And I have kids in mcps. I'm not making this stuff up. I'm not saying working parents aren't active in schools. I am saying farms parents typically do not volunteer in the classroom to assist with math and reading twice a week...but that does happen in more affluent schools with lots of SAHMs. And ESOL parents definitely do not volunteer in the classroom on a regular basis either. To be clear (since the pp seems a bit confused), I'm not saying these parents don't care about their kids and don't show up at school events (although any mcps teacher at a title I or focus school will tell you who does and does not show up for back to school night and class parties). And my other point about social and childcare issues is spot on as well. The simple fact is that it is rather easy to set up playdates and carpools at schools with lots of SAHMs (or nannies who drive).  There was another thread about these sorts of observations recently...I think it centered on a school in Rockville...and a poster explained all of this much more eloquently than I can (haven't slept all week thanks to multiple sick kids).
