[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't anyone stop to wonder why so many professional families live and send their kids to school in DTSS? What do they know that the rest of us don't. If they feel comfortable with the education their kids are getting, who cares what those of us in bethesda, who have never set foot inside a SS school have to say.

These are very good questions.

We live near downtown Silver Spring.  I'm a lawyer, DH is a professor.  We have two kids who went to school here in Silver Spring.  The first is in medical school now, the second is at a highly regarded (top ten nationally) small liberal arts college in New England.  We have hit occasional bumps along the road in their educational experience, but nothing out of the ordinary and nothing that I imagine we would not have encountered in a public school  anywhere, including in Bethesda.

On these threads, I am always struck by how very dedicated people seem to be in making us all understand how bad the schools in Silver Spring and Wheaton are.  These threads go on for pages and pages, with people posting in passionate tones about why we all need to avoid Silver Spring at all costs.  The people who post these things generally have zero personal experience with the schools they discuss.

Why is that?

Is it because those who bought in the W districts feel compelled justify their expensive real estate choices by denigrating others' choices?[/quote]
