[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Baltimore full of great privates and horrible publics?
This may be what ultimately happens to Montgomery county [/quote]

Is that true Baltimore has all horrible publics? Now it explains why people that I know living in Baltimore send their kids to private. They never tell me why, and they just tell me that private fit their child needs..........and not further say that their public sucks.  Why Baltimore public sucks? Many violence and low academic performance or not diversified or so many poor? Why families live in Baltimore, just for work convenience and city life?[/quote]

I would agree that MCPS could go the way of Baltimore public schools.  There are enough high-SES in MC to fund several private schools.  Given the crappy CO and board of education we're stuck with, it's just a matter of time.

There is one High School in Baltimore that's good (Eastern Technical High School, and River Hill High and Western School of Technology and Environmental Science are okay.  However, all three have college readiness less than 70% so I wouldn't call them solid academic institutions.

Our family used to go to Inner Harbor on weekends.  We don't anymore.  Baltimore overall has a high rate of violent crime and even in Inner Harbor (where the police at least try to keep crime under wraps) has been a nightmare for local businesses.  I would google "Baltimore Inner Harbor crime" if you really want to read what's happening up there.[/quote]
