[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what is happening and the income news report shows also proves this is that the more affluent are fleeing maryland for virginia due to thre recent income tax hikes and the welcoming of undocumented worker policies.[/quote]

What is going on in MCPS is what happened to Prince Georges and Baltimore County schools years ago.  Now some parts of Columbia, Md in Howard County are beginning to experience the same type of problems.  The more they push Section 8 out into the burbs the more the burbs resemble the inner-city.  Now suburban schools have to deal with issues that they aren't equip or train to deal with it.  Resources in schools get drain with you have high percentages of FARM, ESL, and illegals.  Instead of having white flight we now have green flight.  Folks of all ethnicities that have money are either relocating further out or jumping ship to other states.  Folks in Northern Baltimore County have already jumped ship to York County, Pa.  Affluent families want to live and to send their children to school with other affluent families.  Why do you think so many DC residents send their little darlings to private schools?

Also, Maryland is notorious for pacifying and enabling criminals.  It's probably the only state where you could kill someone, get an early release from prison, obtain free housing, and benefits upon your release from jail.
