[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the public schools are underwhelming because the wealthy people keep dodging them for privates, rather than fighting for and investing in their community schools. There’s no shortage of wealthy families living in Bowie and Annapolis, yet there is a major shortage of them enrolled in the public schools relative to their presence in the neighborhoods themselves. Most private schools in Anne Arundel County are mediocre anyways. Some even have lower SAT averages than many of the publics in AA County and probably PG County, and the list of colleges that the graduates go to at most of the AA privates are very underwhelming as well. Imagine paying all that tuition for Spalding or Indian Creek just for your kid to go to AACC, Towson, or Salisbury. Those privates weren’t made for families who value education. They were made for the kids of rich white business owners and CEOs who are not very educated themselves and live in giant waterfront homes. They were made for the population that is simply afraid of ethnic minorities and poor kids.[/quote]

I agree with this. People use the term " not a good school" to mean majority black school.
PG doesnt help by taking the bright ( not truly gifted) kids and sending them to magnets in the 2nd grade. Its crazy.[/quote]
