[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many many years ago as a 23 year old, I went to visit Frederick and I literally had a man in the middle of the street say to me, "Go back to Japan," while his friends laughed.  Given the lack of diversity in FCPS schools, I'm not at a place where I'm comfortable sending my kids there. [/quote]

well, too bad you appear to live in the past, as you missed one of the BEST gay pride events in the city this past weekend

Nothing stays the same, but if you're going to base your experiences on your 23 yo self, then you don't want to hear this argument. [/quote]
gay people can actually be racist, too, but I agree that most of the urban areas of Frederick are not racist.

We moved here from CA, and picked MCPS because it has more and better programs than HCPS or FCPS.  I work remotely, so it didn't matter what county we chose.

But, within MCPS, obviously, there is a wide range of schools.  It is true that once the school has beyond ~25% FARMs rate, the quality goes down because the admin/teachers have to spend more time and energy on the lower performers who tend to be from low income families.

And I say this as someone who came from a low income immigrant family whose siblings were in ESL.[/quote]
