[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again -- Calvert County is a great school system for many of the reasons listed here. Just because you surround your children with ultra liberal or ultra conservative people does not mean that they will turn out how you want them to. You can raise your children with whatever values and traditions that are important to you and your DH, however when your children are older they have free will and total choice to either agree with the values they were raised with or disagree. I wish people would stop trying to shame people into racism if they don't live in a big city or major metropolitan area. [/quote]

Who is shaming? Saying that a school system consisting primarily of wealthy, college-educated white people will have high test scores - that's not shaming. That's just stating a fact.[/quote]

There was a poster who wrote, "[b][quote=Anonymous]This is a story about race. These schools are 80% white or greater. If you made any MoCo school 80% white, its test scores would also be 10/10. It is an unfortunate truth that in our area low test scores are correlated with a school’s proportion of low-income black and Hispanic students. This, incidentally, is why these scores are meaningless. A white middle-class kid will do the same at a 5/10 school or a 10/10 school. The only difference is that in Calvert County he’s likely to become a Trump supporter. I have family there who love it because it’s so far from what they fear: cities full of minorities.[/quote][/b]

Is this not shaming and making false claims and accusations about people's political ties?[/quote]
