[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ you are a sad and horrible person.[/quote]

+1.  And I doubt they even live in DC.[/quote]

From the looks of this place, there seem to be a lot of closet terrible people in DC. I'm not surprised in the least that a DC resident thinks like this. I thought DC was progressive when we moved here but dcum has just taught me people secretly think like this. Which is more dangerous than people who are open with their racist and classist feelings.

look [b]snowflake upper middle class people and upper class are in a rat race to secure the next generation. [/b] There simply aren't enough spots at top colleges for people to be worried about hurting feelings or taking a chance on mixing with people who don't value education or have the intelligence to keep up.  [/quote]

This. So much economic anxiety, and that is what is driving this. The current generation of middle-class Americans is the first in decades to be doing less-well than their parents (on the whole, plenty of exceptions out there in anecdata), and they are desperate to try to give their kids the best chance of success and seem to view our society as a zero-sum game.

correct,its not even that why would anyone want to take a gamble on the education quality of their child.  I don't care what your SES is you are going to move heaven and Earth to get into the school with the best opportunities for your child

That means buying in the most expensive neighborhood you can afford and trying all the charter and lottery tricks in the book.

Now what DCUM is ignorant of is that everyone does this.  There are plenty of people in say ward 8 that are trying to get into certain schools/charters etc.  Now most of DCUM would laugh at where they are trying to go but it's the best they can do.  Noone is sitting around, DC has over 70% OOB  remember.[/quote]
