The people skills they pick up along the way are priceless. The DC area has tons of diversity if you live in the right part of the city or in a mixed suburb. Unfortunately, in some areas of the country there are very few diverse school options available. I've been trying my hardest to identify as many as possible in the Baltimore area.Bmore Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809187061540149960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-92139457471642550832014-04-15T10:34:32.136-04:002014-04-15T10:34:32.136-04:00I'm very much a city person as well and more t...I'm very much a city person as well and more than anything love the idea of not being car dependent. My children attended a socioeconomically diverse school and I am so happy they did. I find the "very best" school districts SO limited in diversity and you end up with a bunch of upper middle class bored and privileged kids. I had the option of raising my kids in one of those kind of school districts (McLean, Va) and I'm so glad to have opted out.Gam Kauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246353719716935408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-73372599782916314722014-03-28T21:34:58.975-04:002014-03-28T21:34:58.975-04:00Thanks for your perspective Yuko.

My husband lived in Japan for several years and has commented in the past on how well educated he thought the people were.Bmore Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809187061540149960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-54198453406202840772014-03-28T19:10:35.359-04:002014-03-28T19:10:35.359-04:00We lived in London for 15 years some of them with ...We lived in London for 15 years some of them with three of our four kids - loved living in a city but in the end we moved over here because it was so labour intensive - always at the park and kids supervised. However if we'd still lived there they would have been able to get around better. Oakland is good compromise as loads of outdoors but still urbanAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-33419747773914894772014-03-28T16:22:18.769-04:002014-03-28T16:22:18.769-04:00I totally agree with you on #3.

If we all could benefit from good quality education regardless of our socio-economic status, it will give us hope/opportunities for financial upward mobility and also will probably strengthen the middle class in our society (the strong middle class = happy, healthy society.) I grew up in Japan and we had a very good public school system. Our government at the time financially invested into our education (obviously the money was allocated wisely, too), and it benefited all of us. It takes sure takes entire community to make our education better, but it's worth the effort :) Studio Yuko Jones https://www.blogger.com/profile/04839090621639281035noreply@blogger.com
