[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, come back and please define "down-to-earth" for us!

I'm afraid you might need to leave the DC metro area entirely for this.[/quote]

OP back.  Ha ha, that's what I'm afraid of!  I guess by "down-to-earth" I mean not extremely wealthy, not extremely fixated on Ivy colleges, not focused solely on outward experiences.  My high school experience was maybe unique in that I went to school in a small down dominated by a land-grant public research university specializing in the sciencies, so my classmates were kids of physicists, ranchers, and migrant farmworkers.  Very little pretension, but academically very sound.  I may have to get in my time machine and return to the 80s as well, I realize.

I guess the ONE thing that freaks me out the most is the wealth that seems to correlate with the "good" school clusters ... i.e. Bethesda.  I have no problem with material success, but I'm just unfamiliar and alienated by the idea of my kid being surrounded mainly by the children of law firm partners, etc.  [/quote]

Do not I repeat do not move to Chevy chase. [/quote]
