[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! This is such a frustrating thread.

So you live in DC and you think the school suck?  Why did you move there then, moron?  Sure, I'd rather live in the District than the suburbs, but I took a hit for the team and moved to the suburbs so the kids could go to good schools.  If you decided not to do that, but chose DC (knowing the public schools were not acceptable to you), then suck it up, Frances![/quote]

Wait.  I live in DC, and certainly don't think the schools suck.  DD's enrolled in a great elementary school (in NE, no less), and there are plenty of options open for high school.  No one can predict where middle schools are going to be in a decade, but if the demographic trends continue, and poverty and dysfunction continue to be priced out of the city, then DC public schools will be better than those in the suburbs...if not, perhaps we'll move.  All that aside, I thought the OP's idea was interesting in and of itself, not because of any personal interest.

Oh, and sorry you're so sour about having to move out to the 'burbs.  I know how you feel.  That would just kill me.[/quote]
