[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My God, if it weren’t for DCUM I would never have known there were people like you who thought this way. So you actually think that parents who live in Silver Spring are materialistic showoffs who just want bigger houses? (Where are these bigger houses in Silver Spring anyway?) You think you prioritized education and we didn’t?! You, naively, prioritized Great Schools scores, which are a 100% proxy for how few low-income kids are in your schools. So what you prioritized is white kids. Period. Meanwhile, we have much smaller class sizes, and our children grow up learning that the world is bigger than white suburbs. Plus we have magnets on our side of town. Plus, my kids’ colleges are fully funded wherever they want to go. Cut it with your ludicrous presumptions.[/quote]

Yep pretty much and plenty of Silver Spring posters inadvertently admit to it all the time on different threads. You could afford to rent, buy a condo, or buy a TH in one of the W clusters but you wanted a SFH and your own yard more than the best schools. There's even a saying -you want the Silver Spring discount without the price of Silver Spring. Your claims for wanting diversity are really blown apart by all the cries about what to do if your kid doesn't get into a magnet and is sent back into the general population. Silver Spring parents spend all their energy trying to make sure their snowflakes don't have to mix too much with the rest of the school. Its actually disturbing how much this is a focus over there.

BTW- the magnets aren't yours, they are supposed to be for the county. I'm all for admitting FARMs AA and hispanic students that have potential but didn't score as well but rewarding the white UMC/MC hypocritical bargain hunters is ridiculous and just waters down the magnet. [/quote]

Interesting. I've lived in Silver Spring for years and have never heard that saying. Gosh, the things you learn on DCUM! So it's the less wealthy white kids who are watering down the magnet? Who knew. Huh.[/quote]
