[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]When you can't prevail on the merits of a debate them resort to disparaging and demeaning those who you disagree with.  Is that a low-SES PG County thing?  (See what I did there?)[/quote]

I know that you are trying to make a point, but an earlier poster also brought up PG and I really wish we could stop the disparaging of Prince Georges here. It is hard to see that as being more than a code word for "black" and we really don't need more ways to be racially offensive in this forum.

Thank you, Jeff, for adding some reason to this conversation.  My daughter currently attends Ellington, and one of her best friends travels from N.Va (Arlington I think) in order to attend Ellington.  I assume that her parents are paying tuiton since that is what's required for students who live outside of DC.  I have spoken to several parents who reside outside of DC, PG and MoCo, and they pay tuition because the benefit of a superior arts education outweighs the cost.  For them, the $9000/yr tuition is small sum for the high-quality arts and academic education their child receives.[/quote]
