| Why does the MD public schools forum exclude PG county? Why not just make a forum for MC county and PG county? |

| PG county folks requested their own forum because the MD forum is dominated by people form MC county. Whenever a question was asked about PG schools in the MD Schools forum, it would simply generate a bunch of negative replies about how bad PG schools are. The PG forum allows for more useful discussion. |

No, its very specifically "regionalism" |

Not sure about "regionalism", since these are small swaths of land that touch each other ("neighborhoodism"?), but race, class, and neighborhood are all so tightly correlated, I'm not sure there's any credible reason to draw a distinction. |

OP - Look at the thread about Northwood High. Someone came on that post specifically to post that the high school must be bad because it is near PG County.
That's why PG needs its own board. |

Regionalism exists between small areas that are cheek-by-jowl geographically as well as larger territories such as North versus South Italy or N vs S Germany. That's what regionalism is. There is no such word as "neighborhoodism". |
