[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're the first person to ever compare Bryn Mawr to Tome. I can't imagine why anyone would look at both schools. If you're in Harford County, the only place where it might be feasible to be able to contemplate either school, there's Harford Day and John Carroll, which are more reliable options than Tome.

If the whole question of whether Bryn Mawr is "worth it" comes down to the schools' ideological stance towards gender matters, then it is definitely on the progressive side. Bryn Mawr's kindness and tolerance is going to be other people's foolish enability and injustice against girls. Like everything else in modern society, the private schools are sorting out on either side of the fault lines and there are other private schools that take a more traditional approach to gender identities, whether directly or indirectly.

County privates tend to be more pragmatic than the city privates. Except Park. You have plenty of options in the Baltimore area, minus Oldfields. [/quote]

Yes, Harford County.  Since you are familiar - Why do you feel Harford Day/John Carroll are better options than Tome?  Out of those three, I've heard the most positive things from Tome.  The reason we are looking at Tome and Bryn Mawr is simply that we're still early in this process and the financial side of things isn't really a major hurdle one way or the other.[/quote]

John Carroll is a great school if you want you kid to have a drug problem.  [/quote]

Bryn Mawr is barely in the city.  It sit at the edge of Roland Park, the county side.  easily accessible from points north of town.

Which is said about every school, public or private.

If finances aren't an issue for OP, then the difference between Tome and a full fledged private like Bryn Mawr is going to be staggering. Quality of facilities, instruction, student body, the overall campus atmosphere. You'd want to visit all the schools and see for yourself.

Commuting from Harford to the Baltimore area schools is going to be rough. It's possible McDonogh may run a bus out to Harford. I'd also look at the Saint Pauls schools as they're right off the beltway. If you can't move closer in, then I'd probably look closely at Harford Day as a long established option that has sent graduates to the Baltimore area schools for HS. I know very little about Tome other than it is a resurrection of a much older boarding school that closed during the Depression. The only connection is the name. [/quote]

There's a bus at the Fallston Park and Ride that goes to the city privates. I personally would worry about sending my young children on a 45 minute bus ride into Baltimore City. I mean,  I assume they take good care of the kids and all, but jeez.[/quote][/quote]

Is this a joke?  Have you never been to the North Baltimore private schools?  The biggest danger is your kid being run over by a Mercedes suv.[/quote]

Roland Park et al are not even remotely safe areas. Those campuses are not exactly locked down either. I don't know where exactly the bus drop off would be, but you have a strange sense of what is safe if those areas seem ok to you. Especially in 2023.[/quote]

You are either a troll or certifiably insane.  Maybe both.

For those who re rational, the bus drops off the students at each school, as one would expect.[/quote]

Haha every Baltimore thread we have you nutters come out of the woodwork and insist the city is safe. Last time I remember someone posted current footage in real time of drug addicts and homeless on the street perpendicular to Bryn Mawr[/quote]

Definitely going with a troll.[/quote]

Yeah, because everyone knows Baltimore is super safe. That's for sure the common wisdom. And the criminal stats support your case too! You're definitely not engaged in willful self deceit.

I love walking along Northern Parkway at night with the kids![/quote]
