[quote=Anonymous]DC are in public - honestly if I had more $ I would probably send them to private. Also, tho, think there are legit pluses and minuses to any and every school experience. But we're in a situation (NW DC in Hardy path) where lots of kids start departing for private throughout elementary- and even if we do play dates and see kids around the neighborhood, it is harder for the kids and the parents to maintain friendships that have been made. One of DS's favorite friends left for private & we do see him sometimes but it's not the same as everyday on the playground and recess or being part of school related events together & they of course naturally spend time making friends and being involved in their new school When I hear about DCs' classmates moving on, I say "wow, that's great, what a great school.' but do get 'annoyed' or feel some sense of 'loss' for the friendship and also the parent's investment/involvement in the school.
