DC is one of the most expensive areas of the country. If you can afford to live on one income, you are privileged. Yes, it might mean the difference between a 1600 square foot bungalow in Historic Takoma Park (sacrifice!) and a 2000 square foot house in Bethesda (luxury!) but it's still privilege. [/quote]

Again, no... it means living in Damascus or Mt. Airy or Derwood or Aspen Hill or the neighborhoods around Kennedy HS or in a cheap townhouse or apartment, because you have made your children a priority.  Get out of your own bubble.[/quote]

So people live in Bethesda because they have not made their children a priority? And people live in Aspen Hill because they have made their children a priority? PP, this is ridiculous. People live where they live for lots and lots and lots of reasons - speaking of bubbles. And no, it's not all about personal choices - also speaking of bubbles.[/quote]

Your reading comprehension stinks.

The PP is saying that some people make sacrifices in order to homeschool.

People in both Bethesda and Aspen Hill May have made their kids a priority.  People in both Aspen Hill and Bethesda might choose different priorities and make different sacrifices based on what is important to them.[/quote]

Still ridiculous. If you had the choice - well, should we live in Bethesda, or should we live in Aspen Hill and home school? - then yeah, you're privileged. Which is fine, but the whole thing about privilege is that not everybody has it.[/quote]
