[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone knows UP is terrible. It is better than 99% of PG publics but that is not saying much.  At the end of the day, what is worth more to you?  Vacations and cars or your child's well being and education?  Even if UP is "not so bad" why is that acceptable for your child?  Why would you not want the very best for your child?  What is more important to invest your money in then your own child?   Bottom line is if you live in PG you need to send your know kids to private.[/quote]

This is somewhat ridiculous. I have plenty of friends who live in Montgomery County, DC and NOVA, I can promise you, my kids in PG county aren't getting any worse of an education than theirs are. For the most part, their educational experiences have been just as "diverse" as other kids' in this area only in PG county, "diverse" means lots of black kids (AA and African) with a smattering of everything else. In other places it usually means lots of white kids with a smattering of everything else. UP has more white kids than a lot of other PG county schools because richer whites tend to be the ones who can and choose to move to UP.[/quote]
