[quote=Anonymous]We have been in upper NW for 17 years in a JKLM/Deal/Wilson pyramid.  Our kids are in middle and high school (Deal and Walls).  When we moved here (pregnant with our first) we expected to stay through ES and then move to the burbs because we could not imagine sending our kids to DCPS past ES.  The world changed a lot in there and a lot of people with higher HHI moved into the always nice but not crazy overpriced neighborhood.  The younger families in the now crazy overpriced neighborhood are likely more able to afford private.  We will be able to afford private college for our kids but not if we send them to private now.

We are sticking it out with DCPS for now, I am expecting back to relative normal in the fall.  If that doesn't happen we will reevaluate but we really like our home and neighborhood frankly.

Our kids are doing fine with DL right now.  We had some low points but I am optimistic we are through them.  I am not even sure in person learning for the 4th advisory would be worth it, I just want to get to the end of this school year in one piece.

I know a number of families that went private over the years, but that was their plan it was not about covid.  I do not know any new ones but I probably have a fairly small bubble of other parents I talk to at this point.[/quote]
