[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, the unspoken racism.

Annapolis High is diverse, meaning there is a significant AA population there.  It doesn't necessarily make it a bad school.

I find it amusing that one poster suggests South River, which is pretty much 99 percent white.

Every time I see these posts, it reconfirms my belief that Maryland is a segregated state when it comes to education.  It's pretty sad, for all of the talk of being progressive and all of the people in Maryland who identify as progressive but absolutely wouldn't even consider sending their kid to a school where there is a lot of black kids.

I know someone who went to Annapolis High a while back.  It was diverse then, too.  He got a fine education, went on to get a Ph.D. in math.

And this is the problem.  Anytime anyone says "it's a bad school", it's because of racism.  Not because it has poor academics, low standards, etc.  It's racism.  You caught me, PP.

FWIW, my kid attends a private school with a significant black population, higher than Annapolis's.  Doesn't mean I'd send him to Annapolis, though.  [/quote]

Did you not see the PP who suggested OP drive by at dismissal?  You don't think that's racism?  You can't "see" if it's a bad school by driving by at dismissal.  What do you think the PP meant by that?

You are naive if you don't realize that a lot of people hide behind the "it's a bad school" when the motive is indeed race.  No one mentioned the scores of Annapolis High.  No one described why they claim it's a bad school.

The comments are "No -- Wow" and "drive by at dismissal."

If you can't see that that is racism, then you are beyond naive.[/quote]

So says the person whose children are in a private school or a 90% white public school.[/quote]
