I also once had a Bethesda mom ask me in shock if there were really parks in Silver Spring suitable for kids to actually play in.

I don't know what they think is going on over here


Ha, I love it. I'm in SS too and sometimes I wish we did have our own county over here. Montgomery County Without All the Alpha Parents.

Well, maybe if MoCo west of Rockville Pike were a high school. Then, OK.


This.

We live in Silver Spring and my friend's teenage DD, who attends Whitman, insisted to me recently that SS and Wheaton are not in Montgomery County. *Insisted*.

So emblematic of the mentality of the western part of the county, as is OP's post.






That does not surprise me. I'd bet that less than 10% of Whitman or Churchill students could find Wheaton if there was a pot of gold laying there waiting for them.


Hmm ... Googled Churchill and came up with this http://potomac.patch.com/articles/cabin-john-petition. In the school in the story it seems like they are trying to establish a private public schools with courses easy enough for their kids to do well.

Springbrook used to be, back in my day, that school with the jewish and asian kids who for whatever reason weren't at a "W" school.

Can't argue with those stereotypes. Although you are missing 19 other MoCo high schools that probably aren't as defineable.
