[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I made a lot of sacrifices to be able to afford a house in a W cluster.  Needless to say, I would be extremely upset if the county decided to bus our children to another school because they wanted to "improve" the other school.  Quite frankly, it is not my children's responsibility (or mine)  to add stability to a school three towns over.  The parents in that area are just as capable of engaging and working to improve their school as I am.  I recognize that my opinion is not popular on this board, but my job is to parent my children not an entire school district.[/quote]

PP at 11:40, if you're wondering whom it is about -- well, it's about people like this.

PP at this post -- lots of people have made lots of sacrifices and still can't afford a house in Whitman/Wootton/Walter Johnson/Churchill. How public is a public school if only the children of affluent people get to go there?[/quote]

But that's the reality of life.  I would love a house in St.Barts.  No matter how much I sacrifice, it's not going to happen.  My boss is moving to a beautiful new custom built home.  The master bedroom suite will fit my entire house.  In my wildest dreams, in my best earning year, I will never be able to afford a multi million dollar house----again I would love to be able to afford to live there, but it is not in my realm of possibility.  Sometimes you just have to accept what you can have and do the best you can.[/quote]
