[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This shouldn't be taken as a bible but it's nice to have some ideas. I notice the schools consistently are given C grades. IMO, student performance reflects parents' education levels regardless of the school they attend. https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/search/best-places-to-live/c/prince-georges-county-md/[/quote] I can tell you this is not true. Kids performance reflects parents attitudes and value system. I’ve seen pleanty of low achieving kids from highly educated families. I barely graduated high school and only attended college sporadically. My older son just finished 11th grade with AP physics, AP chemistry, DE multi variable calculus, German 5, and AP English. He scored 5s on all of his exams and had a 4.4. My youngest son isn’t in high school, but is in a private school and gets all As and scored very well on his independent school testing they use for high school admissions. Why? My DH and I make their education a priority. Their job is school and they are expected to perform well. This has been the case since day 1 and it comes natural now to them. I have risen to VP level at my company and out earn my DH. Above all I value a hard work ethic. Not giving 100% is unacceptable and my kids have stepped up to the plate. Unfortunately my parents didn’t care about my grades, but I had inner drive to succee in a different way. High achieving schools and kids are born from parents who have good values. PG has a low quality demographic.[/quote] That racism just popped out in the end[/quote]
