So true. OP, if you want to keep up with the Parkwood or Town of Kensington side of town, do you have money for a country club membership and all the other trappings of UMC life? Your kids will be the poorer ones on the block and they will notice. [/quote

What? Have you ever been to Parkwood or Town of Kensington?[/quote]

Yep. I live in Kensington Heights and the Ktown and Parkwood people can be really insufferable. They have to somehow convince themselves they are better because they spent $200k more on a house to send kids to [b]Parkwood ES with massive overcrowding[/b]. I’ve noticed that the white UMC kids from einsten are headed to similar colleges as the ones on the WJ side. [/quote]

Huh? Kensington-Parkwood is not overcrowded. (Neither are Rock View or Oakland Terrace.)[/quote]

Double huh to the "really insufferable" comment. I have found that the area is fully of really pleasant, wonderful, down to earth people. yes, lots of folks have a pool membership but that's not exactly rolling in the dough. [/quote]

DP, but I have seen firsthand how many of these "really pleasant, wonderful, down to earth people" react when I say my kids go to a local public that's not KP.  Pursed lips, looks of disgust, eye rolls, etc.  It's gross behavior from people who seem to pride themselves on being "down to earth" and yet would never deign to send their kids to a school with significant SES diversity.  They're pleasant to *each other*.  Not to everyone and definitely not to many of us who made different choices for our kids' education.[/quote]
