hey -- i'm the Potomac brat who took D ed at Sears... it was pretty 
bad... all of my other friends took Potomac School.. or something like 
that, at the Potomac Village.  I would recommend the Village -- because, 
in truth, i didn't learn a damn thing.. so you might as well put your kid 
in a place where he can get a coke durning break.  :)  
in all seriousness, the only reason i know how to drive (no tickets, and 
no accidents, thank you very much!) is because as soon as i got my 
learners' permit, my dad took me ALL over DC, and to every godforsaken 
hellish exit ramp on 495.  i also went to school downtown, so i got to 
drive for one hour everday roundtrip, Mon - Fri.  sooo, advice from an 18 
year old who can still remember, painfully, those 30 hours in the Sears 
underwear storage?  buy him a good book to read, send him to the 
village with his friends, give him some ice cream money, and make him 
drive to BAltimore 6 times and back. :)  
oh, and btw, i wish my dad had an internet account!  how neat!  :)

sincerely,
susan
