[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the "city" kids I know go to expensive private schools, while most of the "suburban" kids I know go to public schools.  The city kids are learning that it's good to *appear* to embrace diversity by living "in the city" but that you don't want to *actually* integrate your life/education with people who are different from you.

The BEST comment in this thread! Bravo!!!!!!![/quote]

No, sounds like poster above don’t know many city kids then.  Our DS goes to a charter elementary and we have a net worth of over 3 million.  Lots of UMC families go to charters or DCPS.  Schools are diverse unless you are in upper NW.  Also, many families like ours who could afford to move to upper NW but choose to stay closer to downtown.  We are in NE and so is our school.  One of my DS closest friend is AA.  Another good friend is middle eastern and another Latino.[/quote]

You'll have them in private schools by 7th grade.[/quote]
