[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I mean is, I don’t get the obsession with moving to Severna Park for the schools if your kids are most likely going to be average anyways [/quote]

I think that people desire to live in SP for many different reasons but saying it's 'for the schools' is more socially acceptable than saying some other reasons which may not be as palatable.

Regarding the OPs original point, I concur with the opinion that parents here seeking rigor/prestige will put their children in private schools.

It's not like the private schools in AA are any more rigorous or have a track record of sending kids to prestigious schools. The vast majority of Spalding, AACS, and St Marys High School grads go to average colleges and have average lives too. It's even worse cause the parents pay thousands of dollars just for their kids to go to Salisbury. All the privates besides Key, Indian Creek, and the Severn School suck.[/quote]

Wow. Fortunately, I probably don’t share your definition of success. My children went to one of the “average” schools you listed above. I’d send them again and again, happy to pay the tuition for the experience they received.

If I need to be this judgmental and rude to be considered successful, I’ll happily keep my “average” family. [/quote]
