[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is this person who keeps claiming white flight is going to Howard County.  I've lived in DC on and off for 15 years, in the city and in the suburbs, and have never even met anyone who lives in Howard County let alone someone willing to do that commute.  A handful of colleagues live in Anne Arundel County for specific school options, but this idea that a large number of Montgomery County residents will flee that far is unlikely.  [/quote]

I agree. I live in ch ch md and am pretty happy with the public schools. The idea that we or any of our neighbors would "flee" to Howard County is ludicrous. Close to zero crime, great public transport links to DC, good stores and amenities....love it here.[/quote]

You do realize that Chevy chase is not the only city in MC? And of coirse you are satisfied with your schools. Everyone probably speaks English and for those who are not white, their SES is probably quite high so they don't have any barriers to learning the low SES students have. I am pretty sure most of the kids don't have behavioral issues. So, for the rest of us, Howard County is a fantastic option. Not all of us want to live near DC.[/quote]
